MADISON COUNTY - Madison County CTE, Southwestern Illinois College, and Lewis &Clark Community College are excited to announce the launch of “Future Workforce Alliance”.
The Future Workforce Alliance is a network of community partners who are willing to support high school and post-secondary Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs and allow them to share their expertise and information about their industry, while also developing a high-quality talent pipeline for their company/organization. Some of the activities the Future Workforce Alliance will help facilitate are company tours, job shadowing or apprenticeship opportunities, or having employees come to classrooms to speak to students about their careers and share about the opportunities available to students. All of this will be achieved by creating a database that only our local instructors will be able to access, and can then use to reach out to follow up on the opportunities employers are willing to offer.
