From host WorkforceGPS’s
website:
Community colleges have developed
innovative methods to deliver wrap-around student support services via career
coaches, success coaches, and navigators, as grantees funded by the Trade
Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant
program. These services include a focus on delivering individualized and
coordinated student support across a wide variety of departments and systems,
such as academic guidance and advising, academic support, career coaching, and
supplemental services.
New Mexico’s Skill Up Network: Pathways Acceleration
in Technology & Healthcare Consortium (SUN PATH) implemented Job Development Career
Coaches (JDCC) co-located at 11 community colleges and the New
Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions’ Workforce Connection Centers. The JDCCs provide
students with individualized career blueprints, career readiness workshops, and
guidance with the New Mexico Workforce Connection system. During the webinar, SUN PATH
will describe the role JDCCs play in the delivery of services to New Mexico
community college students.
Developed by Great
Falls College-Montana State University,
RevUp
Montana designed
an online workforce navigator training course based on promising practices of
student support services. RevUp Montana’s workforce navigators assist students
with career exploration and job placement, and act as employer liaisons for
community colleges. The workforce navigator professional training course is
built to assist organizations looking to implement workforce navigator roles or
positions.
