Partnership for Competency Validation & Program Development
CCCS, Skillful, and the Colorado Workforce Development Council have partnered with SkillsEngine to bring the Calibrate tool to Colorado, building job profiles in healthcare and behavioral health to support CO-HELPS and Colorado career pathways work. Calibrate is being funded by Skillful and CO-HELPS, a workforce solution grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration.
Subject Matter Experts can participate in job profile validation efforts by visiting Colorado Industry Career Pathway Validation.
Workforce development collaboration at CCCS is achieved through multiple committees and groups, including:
