Sustaining impact through a community of practice
Once you have completed the programming with your employers, think about ways you can stay in touch and build a community of practice among employers, organizations serving job seekers, and others in the workforce development and upskilling community. Listed below are examples of how you might think about doing this
- Networking events: create skills-based community of practice networking events or integrate the past participants into networking events of future programs
- Additional resources: create a distribution list for any additional resources or local sourcing and skilling resources that could be helpful as employers continue their work
- Community forum: create a space (virtual or in-person forums) where employers can check in as needed on the practices they are implementing
