Expanding Business Engagement (EBE)—Technical Assistance Initiative

The toolkit is organized under two main sections. The Facilitators Guide includes seven planning and facilitation tools intended to help State teams clarify goals, develop plans, and accelerate progress in building relationships with employers, along with instructions on using the tools and examples of how they have been used previously.  The Companion Guide and Framework approaches building collaboration through a four step process cycle: understand, engage, deliver, and measure. Each step contains a set of key questions, which are intended to accelerate the progress of the State teams.
