Program Overview & Learning Goals and Outcomes
The Job Development Learning Group (JDLG) is a rigorous five-month cohort-based training program, designed to equip and empower job developers with skills to best meet the needs of employer partners and program participants. Select topic areas will include business development, understanding employer engagement, establishing partnerships, utilizing social media as a platform to connect with employers and utilizing Labor Market Intelligence (LMI) to effectively identify suitable sectors for their constituents while strategizing through evidence-based practices.
JDLG cohort members are offered an unparalleled opportunity to develop peer-to-peer networks and gain the competencies necessary to become stronger job developers. Participants will have the opportunity to increase their employment/internship opportunities for job seekers by learning how to effectively engage employers and maintain mutually beneficial partnerships.
