Montgomery County ESC Business Advisory Council
Ensuring our workforce can compete by enhancing partnerships between schools,
higher education and employers

The Business Advisory Council is:
•   Ensuring student success and career-readiness
•   Helping existing and new businesses thrive
•   Keeping talent in our region
•   Making Montgomery County a great place to live and work

As we enter year three of this pandemic, our region’s Business Advisory Council is working hard
to continue to innovate in these difficult times. We are working closely with non-profits, industry,
and higher-ed partners to continue our momentum forward despite the many obstacles of the
last couple of years. Over the next 12 months, we will continue to build new opportunities for our
community’s students and strengthen our relationships with our region’s in-demand industries. We
have recently overseen the implementation of new software and tools to help equip our region to
scale the expansion of work-based learning opportunities and track our career connections efforts.
We are poised now more than ever to move this work forward with the help our council’s partners.

VISION
All MCESC BAC member districts’ students are career-focused and have the preparation
they need to succeed on the job and in life.

MISSION
We will promote substantive and effective collaboration between educators and industry
to prepare students to compete in a global economy.

VALUES
We believe in:
1. Integrity — Our workforce must embrace personal and civic responsibility and hold
   strong ethical standards.
2. Equity — All students’ educational needs and aspirations must be respected. Every
   career choice has value.
3. Innovation — The job market and employers’ needs are ever-changing. Innovation is a
   constant and requires life-long skill development.
4. Diversification — Montgomery County’s economy is diverse by design, and every
   industry sector is counting on access to talented employees. Young people need
   to have access to diverse educational options that prepare them to succeed in our
   local economy.
5. Collaboration — Industry leaders and educators must work together to create a
   cohesive and sustainable system that builds a highly skilled and adaptable workforce.
6. Communication — Clear and proactive feedback is a prerequisite for successful
   partnerships.

Tomorrow's workers ... They are right here - Montgomery County ESC Business Advisory Council 2021-2022 Joint Statement of Work
Pathways to Prosperity Network Update
On behalf of the Business Advisory Council, in the fall of 2018, the
Montgomery County ESC joined the Pathways to Prosperity Network in
support of implementing the council’s goals. Pathways to Prosperity is
an initiative of Jobs for the Future at the Harvard Graduate School of
Education. Many young people want to become career-ready and move
into local jobs. Pathways to Prosperity’s data-driven work is focused on
creating meaningful career pathways for students who are eager to
complete high school and earn a high-value credential or degree.

In November 2021, a working group attended the 2021 Fall Pathways
to Prosperity Institute. Our group consisted of superintendents and
staff from Sinclair College and Learn to Earn Dayton, as well as industry
leaders and economic development professionals from the Dayton
Development Coalition. After the conclusion of the Fall Institute, we
then convened our Pathways to Prosperity support staff to meet in
person with our Steering Committee members. This meeting served as
an opportunity to better connect our BAC’s committee co-chairs and
update our regional partners. Notably, our Pathways team has assisted
us in supporting our monthly Greater Dayton Area Hospital Association
Education Subcommittee and our quarterly meetings with Technology
First’s Workforce Subcommittee. These industry-led groups have been
instrumental in the recent progress our BAC has made. We appreciate
our Pathways to Prosperity support in the implementation of this plan.

              Pathways to Prosperity’s data-driven work
               is focused on creating meaningful career
                  pathways for students who are eager to
           complete high school and earn a high-value
                                            credential or degree.

THE WAY FORWARD
It’s 2022, and we’ve entered the next phase of our efforts. We’ve
aligned funding to support our BAC districts with new resources,
tools, and programs. We can now explore new ways to scale and
track the great workforce efforts going on around our region.
Each spring we have about 7,000 students set to graduate. That
is 7,000 high school graduates looking to their next step in their
career journeys. We’re at a pivotal moment but we have the
right partners at the table to ensure these students find their
next steps. As we close out this school year, it will be critical we
test out these new tools and tinker with existing efforts like In-
Demand Jobs Week. We look forward to expanding programs and
incorporating more student voices into these efforts as well!

A quick note on our new Warren County Working Group:

The working group was formed at the beginning of the 2021-
2022 school year and since its inception we have seen enormous
progress. Our Warren County districts have consistently showed
up and dug into the work in front of them. We’d like to specifically
call out the work of Warren County ESC Superintendent Tom
Isaacs and Sinclair College’s Chad Bridgman for their leadership
in leading this working group. We formed this committee to
specifically address the needs and opportunities of Warren County
and they have done a phenomenal job of bringing the right
partners to the table.

5) Policy and Advocacy
A statewide approach is critical in addressing
the needs of an ever changing workforce
landscape.

         Schools must inform policymakers
         on the needs and challenges of
         K-12 partners.

         Industry must inform policymakers
         on the specific needs of our future
         workforce.
