To support the next generation of innovative leaders in sectoral workforce development, P/PV and the Aspen Institute have announced the 2011-2012 Sector Skills Academy, a unique opportunity for peer learning, skills development and professional growth.
Designed for leaders from community-based organizations, community colleges, labor-management partnerships and business associations, the Academy is a year-long program involving workshops, mentoring, technical assistance and peer support. During three 3-day workshops, participants will hear from leading sectoral practitioners; share ideas and experiences; and gain exposure to innovative ideas, creative leaders and sound practices.
The Academy's class of approximately 25 participants will begin in September 2011. Applicants should be involved in a current sector initiative or developing a new initiative and have the authority within their organization to lead such an effort.
Applications will be accepted through May 20. An informational webinar for prospective applicants will be held on Monday, May 2 at 2:00 PM EST; to RSVP, click here.
