One way employers are partnering with training providers is through customized training (CT) – an approach where the employer shares training costs with the training provider with an intent to hire some or all of the successful graduates of the training program. This approach enables employers to develop a qualified and skilled workforce and job seekers to get training and education leading to a job and career path.
Customized Training Programs and Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Agencies
CT programs are partnerships between employers and local training providers, such as community colleges or community-based organizations. Partnerships can also include organizations like vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies and American Job Centers. These additional partners perform critical tasks like managing and convening the partnership, doing recruitment, performing assessment and intake, and providing linkages to supportive services.
