REGIONAL EMPLOYER SIGNALING AT SCALEThe CoLAB’s ultimate vision is to serve as the go-to employer signaling body for high demand, digital tech occupations and skills in the Capital Region. Through the CoLAB, employers take a proactive role in communicating their needs to regional stakeholders. The strength of the Employer Signaling System (ESS) emerges in its ability to directly influence the pathways of digital tech students as well as to structurally shift regional thinking about foundational education for the next generation of workers.
10
As education bodies move in tandem to react to the ESS signal, non-CoLAB members – including
government, nonprofit, and private actors – shift to follow suit.
Employer Signaling System determines the
future skillsets needed for Capital Region workers
CoLAB education partners react, directly tailoring curriculum to meet the Credential standards and changing the dialogue around workplace demand.

Through the Capital CoLAB, the Partnership has developed and launched the following programs:
The Capital CoLAB Digital Tech Credential is a unique credential that indicates students have in-demand digital literacy skills. The Digital Tech Credential allows the region’s leading businesses and academic leaders to collaborate in scaling a coordinated response to pressing workforce needs. This program is being implemented by universities throughout the Capital Region and is recognized by regional businesses as a differentiator in hiring talent.
The CoLAB’s Pathways Initiative aims to expand access to economic opportunity and employer-aligned competencies for thousands of young people and help meet the growing demand for IT talent in the region.
CAPITAL COLAB PROGRAMS
Capital CoLAB’s Upskilling/Reskilling work is grounded in a partnership with the Business-Higher Education Forum and the Business Roundtable, through which the organizations align efforts to help existing employees gain additional digital technology skills in areas including data analytics, cybersecurity, cloud computing, networking/IT, and artificial intelligence/machine learning.

K-12 PATHWAYS INITIATIVE
-
With generous support from JPMorgan Chase & Co and Bloomberg Philanthropies, the CoLAB’s pathways Initiative brings together education leaders from the following five communities to
partner with employers in designing pathways that connect early postsecondary opportunities, high-value credentials, and real-world work experiences.
Upcoming opportunities for businesses to support an expanded regional approach to promoting industry-aligned work-based learning experiences for students.
The CoLAB is implementing its Employer Signaling System framework to identify critical knowledge, skills, abilities, and credentials (KSACs) to share with educators for IT pathways.
