The Central Ohio Workforce Development Network is a membership based, collaborative initiative providing comprehensive support and resources for job seekers and employers in Central Ohio. This innovative systems approach aligns organizations with diverse expertise for improved access to quality workforce development services and talent.
Championing equitable job access and economic mobility through a comprehensive, no-wrong-door approach for all.
Member organizations work in a collective impact model that creates a unified pathway for job seekers that ensures they match with the best member and opportunity. The no-wrong-door approach works to enhance coaching and occupational skills training while aligning workforce adjacent services like child care, digital literacy, mental/behavioral health, and housing stability. All member organizations place a focus on securing meaningful employment at or above family sustaining wages.
The Central Ohio Workforce Development Network actively works with local employers, economic development organizations, labor organizations, and industry sector partnerships to assist with matching talent to current talent acquisition needs. This systems approach to talent pipeline management creates efficiencies and improves access and retention of talent for our employer partners.
Embarking on our inaugural year, the Central Ohio Workforce Development Network members have identified essential activities necessary for our long-term success. Members all agree that building a true workforce development system with no wrong door of entry is needed to allow us to meet the needs of our diverse community of job seekers and employers. Initial activities include:
