What is E3?

Every business customer need is implemented as an “E3 Initiative” project. Every project begins with identifying each of the three E’s and strategically aligning outcomes. To begin, a study is performed of the Economic Development of the Company and/or Industry as it relates to the supply and demand of current and future talent needs. A Business Relations specialist researches the company to learn as much about the Company and/or Industry to identify the right talent and training. A career analysis is done to ensure aspects of what an employee will need to display or have to perform successfully.

The second “E” which is Education which is represented by some of the following initiatives:

  • Identifying existing transferable and marketable skills of job seekers and training programs.
  • Providing post secondary training or re-training services for upgrading skills through programs such as customized training or on-the-job training (OJT).
  • Working with Educational Institutions for curriculum design that is employer driven
  • Implementing tailored employer training that is job or task specific
  • Providing pre-employment tutorial assistance
Once the education aspect of E3 has been met, job seekers are worked with aggressively to fulfill Employment or workforce needs of the customer. Because of the thoroughness of DWD’s process and procedures, companies frequently discover the added value in the process and the relationship.
