“Business U absolutely revolutionized business services for us in Tennessee. We are still feasting on the hearty content shared during our three regional boot camps. The course content was both relevant and innovative. Our teams across the state have certainly been reenergized after learning from these experts.”
"Because the work of our communities requires a high degree of innovation and collaboration, we want to provide the most cutting-edge strategies, technical assistance and coaching options possible. Our dedicated coaches will work with Business U through a train the-trainer model to take some of our communities through a structured process that builds knowledge, skills, and abilities of community stakeholders to be successful and sustainable with their engagement efforts.”
“Love the benefits that B2B Engage provides my organization and workforce partners. We’ve expanded our reach to new employers, automated workflow processes and brought on additional workforce boards and partners to maximize engagement and avoid duplication of efforts. Easy to use in the field, cost effective and automates our business engagement outreach and operational strategies.”
“Doing regional work as a workforce board means that we are in the relationship business. It’s critical to the success of workforce boards that they have relationships with their customers (businesses and job seekers) and regional partners that are based on trust and credibility. Business U understands this. They have given us the professional development and CRM technology tools we needed to strengthen relationships with our customers and partners. They are the best vendor I have ever worked with! Really.”
“The CBEP course was one of the most challenging and rewarding courses I have ever taken. The information was totally applicable in my workforce development role, and I know that my reach with employers and partners will be expanded as a result.”
“B2B Engage is every program manager’s dream and the professional development the staff received from Business U was exactly what we needed to get our clients’ career pathway plan aligned with their goals! For all Navigators, the ability to navigate the B2B data system has allowed us to access information quicker from anytime and anywhere; it has turned into a “traveling office” for us.”
