With all clients coming
to one location, additional services that are offered by the partners
can be marketed to them.
The Oklahoma Employment Security Commission and the Department of Human Services draw a lot of walk-in traffic into the building. This gives the educational institution a chance to market training programs while theyre on-site.
The other agency might also have services that are needed by the client and within the structure of the Workforce Center it becomes easy to ask a representative from the other agency to come by and explain what they can do to help.
Often if a job seeker is frustrated because they lack the skills and knowledge necessary to attain a certain position, they seek additional training offered by the educational institution.
Another marketing advantage for the educational institution is that employers who use the agency services are exposed to what the school has to offer. Tri County Technology Center offers many services specifically designed for business and industry including, skills training, safety training, management training and consultation, and government bid assistance.
This interaction also helps
create and expand partnerships between businesses and the school's
full-time instructional programs.
