Many employers report difficulty finding qualified candidates for jobs, while millions of American workers are under- or unemployed. At the core of this issue is a startling perception gap involving the skills needed for workplace success. Postsecondary educators -- including those at community colleges -- who prepare workers live on one side of the divide; employers who hire the workers live on the other. Engaging employers in community college workforce education programs can help address the gap and assuring that youths and adults have access to industry-vetted, career-ready skills. For that reason, the National Center for Innovation in Career and Technical Education (NCICTE) conducted case studies of nine college-employer partnerships that prepare students in the high-demand industry sectors of health sciences, information technology, and manufacturing. This report documents the range of approaches being used to engage employers in community college programs. The report begins with an overview of employer engagement activities, followed by profiles of nine college-employer partnerships that involve employers in the design, implementation, and sustainability of workforce education programs. Profiles are arranged by industry sector for readers who may want to start or strengthen employer engagement in programs in a particular sector. Profiles of the nine college-employer partnerships rely on information from stakeholder interviews and focus groups and program documents and resources collected during the course of the study. Each profile concludes with lessons for the field based on the experience and advice of community college leaders, faculty and staff members, and representatives of employer partners.
