The goal within this system is to utilize current systems of workforce preparation in order to effectively align common goals and resources and deliver services, education and/or training to students and adults countywide. The Alliance for Education has aligned common goals with:

• Regional Occupational Programs (ROP),
• secondary and post-secondary career/technical education,
• the Economic Development Department,
• the county’s Workforce Development Department, and
• county and city Workforce Investment Boards.

Students and adults will access these resources through a countywide clearinghouse website link that has been developed. Designing smoother transitions from each grade level and entrance into and completion of post-secondary education/training or the workforce advisories increases the realization of an educated and skilled community.
