Now Registering for our Spring Cohort
Join Cara Plus for a virtual immersive lab on best practices and best failures from nearly 30 years in workforce development.
Our Workforce Development Solutions Lab is for organizations creating or enhancing workforce development programs to help people with employment barriers obtain, retain, and advance in quality jobs. Dive deep into Cara’s service delivery model through workshops and one-on-one time with practitioners, and collaborate with other organizations to resolve your own challenges and tap into opportunities. Walk away with a fresh perspective and actionable steps to amplify your organization’s services, impact, and reach.
At this Lab, organizations will:
IMMERSE
yourself in a competency-based approach to socio-emotional skills training
DISCUSS
techniques to build and sustain participant interest, trust, and engagement
GAIN
perspective on how to cultivate employment partnerships, as well as best-fit matchmaking practices for success in long-term job placement
OBTAIN

COLLABORATE
