To stimulate and strengthen growth in sectoral employment
development, three organizations with deep roots in this field have
created the Sector Skills Academy, a unique leadership institute that
emphasizes a collegial environment, peer exchange, skills acquisition
and professional growth.

One good way to get a sense of the Academy's value, is to hear from participants.
Below, a member of the Academy's first class describes her experience.
The SSA has helped our organization think about how our core values can make a lasting impact in our community, especially for the harder-to-serve populations. But also the academy helped us realize the significant impact a variety of stakeholders have when they join forces to create positive initiatives in partnership, rather than in silos.
