From page 34...
... While such data is useful, more macroscopic data on actual jobs created in the MII's targeted technology area and in the region influenced by the MII are also desirable. While such data provides a useful metric for MII performance, the committee has done a detailed review of the kinds of EWD programs undertaken by MIIs and developed a list of "best practices" that various MIIs are undertaking.
From page 35...
...  MII EWD programs could consider and be engaged in both national and regional EWD programs in their technology areas and could assess how these national and regional programs can best intersect for mutual support.  In their regional engagements, MIIs could consider active collaborations with other MIIs for broader program offerings beyond a single technology, since employers tend to want skills for sets of integrated technologies, not a single technology focus.
From page 36...
... Is the MII attempting to obtain and obtaining additional funding to support and scale its EWD efforts from sources, apart from DOD ManTech core funding, to sustain broader EWD impact? STAFFING The MII could obtain experienced staff to work on EWD efforts, with experience working with industry education programs of particular use.
From page 37...
... In developing credentialing efforts, they could tap into the industry technology experts, not simply industry human resource officials, for credential development advice. A system could be in place for periodically updating credentials.
From page 38...
... Regarding numbers trained -- In addition to collecting numbers of those trained, MIIs could attempt to track what happens to students and trainees that engage in MII EWD programs, including, to the extent possible, information on how many students and trainees began to work in the field. Because the extent of an MII's industry and education institution engagement in competency development and training may improve industry uptake, numbers could include those reached by industry and education programs MIIs have participated in or assisted.
