The Center for Workforce Solutions and Employment (CWSE) is responsible for services delivered to business and industry within the region. Services are provided on the campus in Zanesville, the Zane State College Cambridge Center, and at the location of the organization being served.
The CWSE at Zane State College goes beyond the historic community outreach and public service mission of publicly supported colleges to establish “engagement” or “partnerships” in the Zane State College service area. To accomplish these goals, the CWSE employs these approaches:
- Responsiveness-to assess the educational and training needs in the Zane State College service area, surrounding region, and organizational customers.
- Respect for Community Partners-to encourage joint academic-community identification of problems, solutions, and successes.
- Academic Neutrality-in its outreach to the community, the CWSE often serves as a neutral facilitator and source of information for purposes of expanding partnerships.
- Accessibility-to help community partners understand what educational and training programs Zane State College has to offer and to understand the institution’s academic requirements and policies.
- Integration-promote the public service mission with efforts to facilitate the learning and training of the workforce and other populations in the Zane State College service area and surrounding region.
- Coordination-strive to coordinate its educational and training activities with other offices at Zane State College, as well as with the resources of the community, to achieve maximum benefit to community partners and businesses.
- Partnership-establish productive relationships with government, business, labor, education, and non-profit organizations.
- Commitment-to have a strong commitment to function as a community-serving entity at Zane State College, be democratic in purpose and operation, and be accessible to all people who can benefit from further education and training.
Services include: design and delivery of customized training for employers; and professional development seminars.
Training is developed to meet the specifications of employers and may be delivered on site or in one of the College’s classrooms. Examples of training topics include management, safety, computers, and industrial maintenance. All classes are offered as contract training programs tailored to meet the needs of the workforce and can be offered in a variety of formats at times convenient for our clients. Training may be offered for credit or non-credit.
