BHEF Releases Playbook: Highlights strategic partnerships for successful workforce development
On September 27th, BHEF formally released The National Higher Education and Workforce Initiative: Forging Strategic Partnerships for Undergraduate Innovation and Workforce Development during a National Undergraduate STEM Partnership meeting at the White House. This compilation of scaling strategies serves as a playbook for other groups interested in developing their own strategic business engagement in their region. The publication is available from BHEF’s website, and a limited number of print copies are available as well.
The release of the playbook complemented the meeting’s theme of scale. Partners heard from thought leaders at foundations, federal agencies, businesses, and universities about programs that have the potential to create national impact, and they explored options and possibilities for disseminating learning. Partners then discussed the tactical challenges facing this group and offered input on potential National Undergraduate STEM Partnership activities.
Together, the playbook and the meeting at the White House affirm BHEF’s commitment to implementing regional strategies that can scale nationally.
