Conference Presentations

Community colleges are seeing a decline in enrollment while the healthcare sector is experiencing a chronic workforce shortage. These phenomena require us to examine current and future industry needs to inform the development of a sustainable model. This session will highlight a multi-institutional collaboration, informed by Labor Market Intelligence (LMI), that aligns with strategic priorities and seeks to mitigate a critical regional workforce shortage while positioning for long-term sustainability. Come learn strategies for developing consortium agreements among diverse institutions and how to use LMI to inform sustainable collaborative models to address workforce needs and boost enrollment.

1. Demonstrate how to use integrated planning tools to facilitate change in the workforce and capitalize on opportunities for multi-institutional collaboration.
2. Capitalize on your institution's mission while identifying commonalities with partner institutions through a focus on regional workforce needs as the main driver.
3. Embed planning priorities and intended outcomes that are mutually beneficial to partner institutions and the students they serve while underscoring the central role higher education plays in meeting current and future workforce needs.
4. Incorporate LMI analysis principles into planning through the application of collaborative strategies.
