The PROTECH Approach to Workforce Development Was Designed for Employers, and is a Logical “Plug-n-Play” Solution to Bridge Employers With Local Workforce Development Resources.
The PROTECH© system of managed human resource development and the accelerated transfer of expertise™ approach:
- Is designed exactly to the employers’ job classifications – incorporating the employer’s work processes (developing standard processes where not available), engineering specifications, quality specifications and safety requirements;
- Creates a structured on-the-job training infrastructure – ready to train new-hires, cross-train workers AND close incumbent workers training gaps;
- Requires a low and declining per trainee investment;
- Lowers employer’s internal costs of worker development while increasing worker capacity, work quantity and quality, and compliance (i.e. with engineering and safety specifications, as well as quality programs such as AS/AS/IATF and NADCAP);
- Lower worker turnover for employers with sustained higher worker engagement;
- Is a perfect capstone to core and industry-general preparation;
- Can, and has been, registered as apprenticeships and provides a natural pathway for relevant and meaningful internships;
- Establishes clear career paths and develop tools for every job targeted;
- Provides accurate metrics and record keeping to control, improve and report outcomes;
- Generates a wealth of current data for educational institutions, workforce developers and training providers to validate their content and customize instructional materials and approach;
- Immediately documents recognizable prior learning/prior skills and accumulating worker value;
- Has continued to provide employers with a high “return of worker investment”- leading employers to stay engaged in sustainable partnerships;
- Is proven over 30 years of application, some projects continuing over 20 years and still providing our training partners opportunities for applying products and services with pre-employment preparation, new-hire remediation and job-related lifelong learning for incumbent workers;
- Proactive Technologies contracts directly with the employer, sharing revenue with the WFD partner from the initial project through inevitable project expansions – helping WFD projects become and remain self-sufficient.
The PROTECH approach provides many other benefits that keep employees engaged and make employers want to remain engaged with workforce development partners and continue/expand worker development programs.
Small and mid-size operations today are forced to run so lean they rarely can afford any deliberate worker training effort. This approach is affordable, easy to scale-up and powerful! The employer needs no additional staff, and this approach does not interfere with an employer’s staff obligations or work scheduling!
Many projects that started as pilot programs continued to expand to all job classifications and multiple sites, and have spanned decades! Initially provided grant funding, employers were attracted by mitigating any perceived risk and by the opportunity to recoup some or all of their initial investment to setup programs and support the program’s implementation to prove the approach before expanding. Proactive Technologies helps its clients with grant research, the application process and managing the grant paperwork.
Over the many years of partnerships with education institutions and training providers, this approach has expanded each partner’s marketing reach (without cost) and increased revenue-generating opportunities. The tangible outcomes raised each partner’s credibility and opened doors to new service opportunities. Where these efforts were supported, employers enthusiastically expanded their projects and were not shy about telling other local employers about their project’s success.
Instead of expending scare resources on facilities that may not draw enough students, or buying equipment that grows obsolete after purchase, why not partner with Proactive Technologies and maximize the use of resources that are already available?
Proactive Technologies will setup and manage the structured on-the-job training for your local employers so they can focus on business and your institution can focus on what it does best – preparing workers with highly relevant core and industry-general skills. This approach is perfect for pre-employment development, and effective with displaced, disadvantaged, youth, senior and veteran labor candidates. The employer, the employee, the trainee, and the community all win!
