Lessons for Education
• Employers are evolving & reacting faster than ever before
• Stability replaced by ambiguity of future needs• Educators: • How do we prepare our students for this?• How do we partner with industry to provide up-‐to-‐date
training and respond to employer needs?• More flexibility through ecosystems

Workforce Development Strategy
• Ecosystem development as workforce development strategy mirrors the evolutions of organizations that will employ your students
• Stakeholders can enter with minimal commitment• Increase or reduce participation, depending on organization’s needs
• An ecosystem is not led by one party, it is the product of multiple contributors

Partnership Building• A cup of coffee goes a long way – Engage and LISTEN– Afterwards process the conversation. • Does this person’s organization share values that would work along with yours in a partnership? • Do they have the resources available for a partnership to be fair and productive? • Did they monopolize the conversation or did they reciprocate with questions for you? • Can you picture yourself working with this person and having fun?
