Whether you are just starting or already have a strong workforce development program in place, the WDMS is designed to grow with your organization. If you are starting from scratch, the WDMS prescriptively provides feedback for each key component identifying where to focus your effort and assist in developing an implementation plan. If you have an existing workforce development program, the prescriptive feedback for each key component identifies opportunities for further incremental enhancement and validates that you’re on the right track.
The WDMS is a tool designed to assist users with the self-evaluation of their workforce development program using 11 Key Components of world-class workforce development programs.
Key Components
Commercial and industrial contractors as well as suppliers that want to make a commitment to developing their most important resource, their people.
