Higher Education is rapidly evolving nationwide to respond to industry and employer requests for rapid-response credentialing, training, and education. AWC seeks to align career-connected learning with the region’s rapidly evolving employment needs at the speed of industry. The new structure demands excellence just as it requires flexibility and responsivity. The goals included simplifying the reporting structure, increasing interaction across program verticals, and ensuring collaboration within the new structure.
Over the past eight months, Vice President for Workforce Development & CTE, Reetika Dhawan, has hosted more than 15 roundtable sessions in collaboration with Oak Rose Group (strategic partner), both virtually and in-person, with internal and external stakeholders, including district-wide town halls, CTE team discussions, and industry leader roundtables.
The workforce community responded to a written survey informing this work around training and educational needs. Industry feedback came from organizations ranging from Gowan, Hansberger Refrigeration, City of Yuma, City of Wellton, LaPaz County Hospital, Shaw Industries, Pilkington Construction, TRAX International, Yuma Regional Medical Center, Greater Yuma Economic Development Corporation, and others.
Transition to the new structure will take effect immediately and the Arizona Western Entreprenurial College will begin to better serve students, be a more valuable resource to local employers, and serve as a national model for workforce innovation and integration in higher education.
