Benchmarking

Workforce Development Benchmark Project

Kathy Yeager has conducted a benchmarking study with 20 community colleges across the country. The purpose of this six-month study was to gain insight into other colleges and how they conduct their workforce development open enrollment and contract training programs.

The survey was designed to gather information concerning all aspects of the sales department, types of products offered, financial goals and achievements of the department, expectations of the college, industries served, payment of instructors, marketing techniques, evaluations, and future success goals. The main goal was to uncover best practices in small, medium and large institutions.

Twenty colleges were surveyed, along with six college visitations for more in-depth information. The result was a 106 page in-depth document setting the standard for best practices in workforce development departments across the country.

The results have helped many other colleges with strategic planning, budgeting, reorganization, corporate college structure, sales goals and financial expectations for the workforce development department.
