Commitments of Partners Sample Clauses

Commitments of Partners. This agreement is entered into during the planning phase of the initiative, and it serves as the foundation for moving to an implementation phase with a formal organizational structure to achieve the desired results. A primary objective in the planning phase is to develop an implementation plan that is attractive to public and private funders. During this planning phase the partners commit to the following actions: ❖ Create a business plan for achieving the goals of the initiative and present the plan to potential funders who will support the initiative in total or as a partner with other funders ❖ Leverage the learning that has occurred from the Business Resource Network (BRN) expansion project in Ohio that was supported by a Workforce Innovation Fund grant from the U.S. Department of Labor ❖ Participate in regular meetings of the partners, approximately every two months, to create a shared vision with program details for implementation ❖ Promote the initiative within staff structures of each partner and with business-serving partners in each local area, so that the tools and processes of the initiative can be used more broadly rather than viewed as a narrow project ❖ Define how local data management systems will interface with the data management system of the Coal BURN initiative ❖ Create specific draft budgets and staff structures that can be incorporated into the implementation plan, and engage with partners in sharing ideas leading to refinements and consistency across the region ❖ Identify other organizations that are potential partners ❖ Identify key employers in each local area and work with other partners to conduct site visits or group sessions to promote the process ❖ Participate in training sessions on the use of the tools and the steps in the employer engagement process ❖ Identify and/or secure alternative resources that may be utilized as matching funds or in- kind contributions
