Clients who are not fully prepared with an overall strategic
program development plan are often unable to respond to funders solicitations
for proposals, or they are unable to submit competitive applications.
Our experience with workforce issues and forecasting, the landscape of funding
opportunities, and industry partnership engagement means we are in a unique
position to help our clients build an effective workforce development strategy.
Our approach to the development of sustainable workforce training and
education programs includes understanding current and future regional
demand, and matching organizational resources and goals with promising
program areas.
Rockridge's experience in organizational development and training
makes us the perfect partner for building incumbent employee training
programs.
Examples:
When RPI was approached by a Community College Business instructor with anecdotal evidence of unmet training demand in the Financial Services sector we built industry association partnerships to quantify the demand for employees, and developed a plan to train entry-level workers across the State of California with industry and educator created curriculum.
When Rockridge Partners was approached by a Bay Area Public Policy Association interested in exploring a model organizational development program for the IT sector we engaged leading companies to examine gaps in the skill sets of technology workers. Working from this information we designed an incumbent employee development strategy and identified federal funding to build and implement the program.
