The goal of the North Dakota Workforce Training System is to provide business and industry in North Dakota with the most competitive workforce in the nation. http://www.ndus.nodak.edu/system_office/workforce_training/default.asp
This goal is being met by implementing a model developed by the Task Force on
Workforce Development and Training. Development of the model was coordinated by
the Greater North Dakota Association using the best practices of Workforce
Training Systems. The model has the following characteristics:
· Designated geographic service regions.
· Administered by two-year colleges with special units of the colleges
specifically designed to meet the workforce training needs of business and
industry.
· Financial support through a combination of state, local, and private sources.
· Strong collaborative relationships between institutions providing training
and individual businesses being served and among educational institutions and
various government agencies involved in workforce training.
