Tri-Sector Model

Our TEAM model (Tri-sector Employment and Advancement Model) brings nonprofits, local businesses and area government together in a public/private partnership—helping communities create vibrant networks that benefit employees and employers.

Working collectively, these networks tailor specific programs to provide information, education and training. This approach increases employee knowledge, promotes job efficiency, and boosts effectiveness in the workplace environment.

West Michigan TEAM serves these networks by providing:

New connections for small and mid-sized companies—helping them participate in local workforce resource networks as well as government-funded workforce development programs.

Expanded reach for public and nonprofit agencies—helping them efficiently engage and effectively serve more workforce members.

Easy access to opportunities for lower-wage employees—helping them access on-the-job support and advance through training and education programs.
