Dear Workplace Literacy Discussion List,
 
Donna Brian has forwarded this email to you with the following message:
List members,
I forwarded the information about the Aspen 
Institute last year also, and, as I understand 
it, we had some people apply.  It certainly 
looks like an awesome opportunity.  It anyone 
from the list has attended in the past, would 
you share with us some of your experiences?
Thanks!
Donna

Every field needs visionary, energetic people to explore new ideas and set future directions. To support the next generation of innovative leaders in sectoral workforce development, the Sector Skills Academy was created to provide a unique opportunity for peer learning, skills development and professional growth. 

Designed for leaders from community-based organizations, community colleges, labor-management partnerships and business associations, the Academy is a year long program involving workshops, mentoring, technical assistance, and peer support. During the three 3-day workshops participants will hear from leading sectoral practitioners, share ideas and experiences, and develop lasting relationships that will influence the future of sectoral workforce development strategies. As an integral part of the Academy, each participant will reflect on and refine their vision, strategy and implementation plan for a specific sectoral initiative, compatible with his/her own organization's vision and goals. Applicants should be involved in a current sector initiative or undertaking a new initiative and have the authority within their organization to lead such an effort. 

The Academy's third class of up to 24 participants will begin in June 2007. In addition to being exposed to innovative ideas and creative leaders in today's sectoral development field, participants also have the opportunity to work one-on-one with experienced professionals serving as mentors. 

Applications to the Academy will be accepted through March 16, 2007. To learn more about the Academy, visit: http://www.sectorskillsacademy.org. 

The Sector Skills Academy is a joint project of the Aspen Institute's Workforce Strategies Initiative and Public/Private Ventures, with principle support from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
