Supporting Employers Across the Ocean Economy

WaveWorks Alliance helps employers strengthen their talent pipelines by connecting them with proven approaches to training, recruitment, and workforce readiness. We organize what’s working across the country and translate it into practical guidance employers can use to engage with educators, grow awareness, and build a stronger workforce.

 

Why We Believe This Matters

Companies across the ocean economy are facing rising workforce demands and evolving skill requirements. Many employers want to collaborate with schools and training programs but don’t always have the time or resources to identify what models work best, or how to adapt them locally. We help bridge this gap by communicating clear, industry-informed insights on behalf of employers.

How We Help

We support employers by providing:

  • Examples of effective outreach and training models already working in other communities
  • Guidance for partnering with education and training programs in practical, sustainable ways
  • Insights into career awareness strategies that help job seekers understand real opportunities
  • Translation of workforce needs into language educators can use in classrooms and advising
  • Support for aligning expectations between employers and training providers

Everything we share is grounded in real programs and approaches that deliver results.
