• W295050402 abstract "The National Workforce Assistance Collaborative (NWAC) was established by National Alliance of Business to provide assistance to community colleges and other organizations that offer programs to increase business productivity. The NWAC is charged with building capacity of service providers that work with small and mid-sized companies in areas of workplace literacy, technical training, work restructuring, and labor-management relations. To inform its efforts, Collaborative held 18 focus groups across country with service providers, company repiesentatives, and employees and employee representatives and established 5 advisory groups to review operational plans. The NWAC is unique among organizations serving businesses in that it focuses on ways to provide integrated literacy and 'technical training to small and mid-sized businesses. Efforts will focus on identifying best practices among service providers and establishing efforts to collect and disseminate information through a National Resource Network and an electronic clearinghouse providing descriptions of service providers and existing programs, case studies, and training and other resource materials. The Collaborative will also undertake ongoing marketing and feedback efforts to raise awareness about need to improve services. For community colleges, NWAC will prove a valuable resource by building private sector demand for college services.

Paper Presented at Annual Convention of American Association of Community Colleges (75th, Minneapolis, MN, April 22-24, 1994) BEST COPY AVAILABLE 2 THE NATIONAL WORKFORCE ASSISTANCE COLLABORATIVE: A New Institution with Plans to Improve Workforce Services By: Terri Bergman, National Alliance of Business Compm7ies today need to produce higher quality and more varied products, more quickly, and at a lower price if they are to compete -and survive -in our global economy. This need to produce better, faster, and cheaper requires changes in workplace and in workforce. The link between workplace and workforce changes is clear: new and better production processes requir employees to master new -and frequently more difficult -skills. One employee summed up workplace and workforce changes by saying that technology is speeding everything up; quality is being pushed down to production line, and taken away from separate inspectors; employees are being given access to on-line information and data needed for setting up their jobs; and employees are being cross trained to enhance staff flexibility (National Workforce Assistance Collaborative, 1994a, p. XVI-3). Companies, particularly small ones, frequently require help mating needed workplace changes and building their employees' skills. A business representative, commenting on this need for assistance, noted that the country needs to focus on educating those currently in workforce. Community colleges and other institutions need to work together to provide services in ways that meet needs of small and mid-sized companies. Small companies do not have ate time or money to locate they need to educate their workforces. Forums that bring companies together to talk about these issues are good opportunities to learn about existing resources (National Workforce Assistance Collaborative, 1994a, p. VII-" @default.
