The "Supporting Workforce Model" illustrates how Pipeline 4 Progress will drive economic development throughout the region. The immediate circle around "workforce" shows five important focus areas that serve as essential building blocks to support and attract talented individuals. The outside circle shows some more specific examples of those focus areas.
In order to give attention to all of the workgroups and organizations throughout the region that support workforce and economic development, Pipeline 4 Progress developed a central leadership team that will not replace, but will support parallel efforts. This leadership team is represented by the "structure" piece in the model. The leadership team is responsible for turning the "workforce" gear by identifying priorities, keeping communication lines open, and ensuring regional collaboration. It is only through collaboration that all of the pieces can move in the same direction and truly make a difference for a sustainable work climate.
