Subject: [NIFL-WORKPLACE:124] WINs Interview
NIFL-Workplace Subscribers
Soon we will begin the interview with both the Virginia WIN and the
Pennsylvania WIN.
I wanted to provide you with the questions that will be asked as well as the
websites of each organization should you like to visit.
Questions
Background
1. What is workplace learning and literacy? What are the "foundation" or
basic skills?
2. What is a Workforce Improvement Network? Where did the idea come from?
3. What's the purpose of the network? What are the expected outcomes? How
does the system work? How do the systems differ -- and why?
4. What is the source of the money to support WIN and how did you get it?
5. Who are the providers involved in WIN, basic skills providers or private
consultants?
6. How does the WIN work with local community and technical colleges?
7. How do you get basic skills providers interested in working with
employers?
8. What kinds of support does WIN provide to the basic skills providers?
Working with Employers
1. How do providers approach employers?
2. How interested are employers in foundation skills training?
3. Do employers understand "foundation skills"? If not, how do you help them
understand what they are?
4. How interested are they in paying for the service?
5. How much time does it take to "nurture" a relationship between the
employer and provider? Is it worth it? How do you know?
Working with State and Federal Systems
1. Is the WIN system part of the one-stop system? If so, in what ways? If
not, why not?
2. How do we currently link with and relate the role of the WIBs and to
other WIA initiatives?
3. Is there a relationship between the WIN system and the Dept of Labor's
workforce development initiatives? If so, how does it work? What are the
challenges? How are you getting through them?
4. Should the Federal Government fund a program to initiate statewide
efforts like WIN?
5. If yes, what should be components and expectations? What would be the
advantages and disadvantages of taking this approach in other states?
6. What would a National Workforce Improvement Network look like? What would
be the advantages, disadvantages of a national WIN?
7. What would be needed to sustain a national network? What would be its
value?
8. What is your vision for the future of learning at work?
