3 CEWD s strategy and approach over the past decade has been Industry Solutions for Regional Implementation. The Center has focused on providing its members with workable solutions that align with each of the four strategic pillars: Career Awareness, Workforce Development and Education, Workforce Planning, and Structure and Support. This year, the focus of the CEWD Annual Summit is Strategic Linkage. With a myriad of tools and approaches available, how does it all fit together? And how can you link a number of strategies to improve your outcomes with your target population? During the 2016 Annual Summit, CEWD members will demonstrate how they are strategically linking CEWD resources to improve overall outcomes of their workforce strategies with specific populations.
