Cwd's research, training, technical assistance, and materials focus on: "assisting educators, workforce development professionals, employers, and policymakers in bridging school and workplace, learning and earning; "establishing standards, assessments, and tools to improve quality, connections, and collaborations; "improving the involvement and relationship of employers to learning and training enterprises and the broader workforce development system; "assisting youth and their families in navigating the road to adulthood, from school to additional education, careers and independent/community living; and, "promoting the development of career pathways for youth service professionals. Some major initiatives of the center for workforce development include: the ready to achieve mentoring program (ramp) - funded by several grants and led by the Institute for Educational Leadership (iel), ramp is being implemented across the country by state and local organizations with expertise in mentoring, youth development, juvenile justice, and disability. The ramp model uses a combination of group, peer, and one-on-one mentoring to promote the successful transition of ramp youth to employment, continued learning opportunities, and independent living. Youth participate in weekly career preparation-focused group meetings, including peer-supported goal setting and exploration of careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (stem). Each youth meets regularly one-on-one with a mentor to develop and implement an individualized mentoring plan (imp). Mentors are caring adults recruited from the community, schools, employers, and partner organizations. Youths' families, teachers, and support network are engaged in career fairs, college visits, and extended learning activities. While in ramp, youth have the opportunity to assess and explore their own career interests; develop a plan and set goals for their transition; create a resource map of their community's high-tech industries; gain workplace soft skills; build resume-writing and interviewing skills; interact with employers and experience a variety of work settings; give and receive peer support; take advantage of group and personal Leadership opportunities; design and build a high-tech-related team project, and most importantly have fun
