Book Description
The Community College Labor Market Responsiveness (CCLMR) Initiative was created by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE), to develop and disseminate information to enable community colleges to keep pace with the needs of a diverse student body and a dynamic labor market. The main goals of the initiative were to: (1) determine the characteristics of a "market-responsive" community college and identify the policies and practices to facilitate labor market responsiveness; (2) pinpoint the steps colleges can take to improve labor market responsiveness and the quality of customized programs they offer to students; and (3) disseminate that knowledge to the field. Volume 1, Unleashing the Power of the Community College, serves as the executive summary and includes key lessons learned from case studies of 30 colleges serving 10 labor market areas. The authors conclude the responsive colleges tend to share fundamental Characteristics: "leadership committed to the goal of making the college responsive; internal response mechanisms that influence campus organizational structure and culture; conscious and deliberate efforts to nurture business and other partnerships; and thoughtful and strategic approaches to building stronger connections to the local economy." Volume 2, Promising Practices, and Lessons from the Field, is made up of modules exploring different facets of the college that contribute to market responsiveness: (1) leadership and governance; (2) organizational structure and staffing; (3) organizational culture; (4) resources and funding; (5) information and data; (6) relationship-building; and (7) partnerships. The volume contains a list of resources and advice for colleges seeking to improve their responsiveness. Volume 3, Self Assessment Tools and Resources, disseminates the recommendations from the Initiative in the form of tools colleges can use to gauge their own effectiveness and plan for improvement. This volume contains extensive recommendations for further reading and lists of organizations that can offer assistance labor-market responsiveness.

Book Description
The book begins with the premise that workforce education is a global issue and is becoming increasingly competitive. It is important for the reader to understand the concept of work historically, as well as its meaning and implications to individuals. Understanding this history leads to better instruction, education, and training, which can solve many human performance problems in the workplace. Workforce Education, Occupational, Training, Instruction or Career Education, Voca-tional Education or Technical Education is used interchangeably throughout this book. The concept of today’s workforce development is universal. As a college professor, I believe I have an ethical obligation to promote learning, to ensure health and safety, to protect the public and private trust, and to promote the transfer of learning. A second premise of this book is that there are common issues and problems in the workplace. This book provides, in a single volume, the knowledge base common to all work settings for today’s students, regardless of their specialty. Thus, the book was designed for students to think globally and to understand how to be and what it takes to be competitive in the global economy.
