Employers are able to define their job requirements and these requirements are communicated into the system which can use this information to prepare workers for jobs that really exist. Training institutions receive information from employers and recent graduates to improve the quality and relevance of training courses. Training is designed to meet the employer's needs. The workforce system promotes and assists economic development activities. Close collaboration exists between the training institutions and economic development to prepare an appropriate number of workers for new jobs and meet the needs of expanding and new businesses.
Business relies on the workforce development system to meet workforce needs.
Long-term reliance on support measures, such as unemployment insurance and welfare, is reduced. The main players in the workforce development system are able to inform customers about the programs for which they are eligible. A common intake saves the customers time and multiple stops. Each agency asks for additional information of a unique and proprietary sort for its own use. It is the mission of the Pacific Mountain Workforce Development Partnership to eliminate the fragmentation that pervades the system.
