"As the Knowledge to Work portal expands, ETA's Competency Model Clearinghouse and industry frameworks are being used extensively. We are also in the process of aligning these frameworks with the Industry-Wide Technical Competencies delineated in Tier 4 of ETA's Information Technology, Health Care and Advanced Manufacturing Competency Models."

"We found that ETA's Advanced Manufacturing Competency Model was a great tool for a middle ground in our conversations with employers. It enabled us to start the disucssion locally and move to regional conversations with employers and community colleges to find out how we get certifications to match the competencies that employers need."

"Our consortium's Resiliency Competency Model and its corresponding integration process align well with ETA's Building Blocks Model. We combined what is in the Workplace Competency and Personal Effectiveness tiers--tiers 1 and 3--as five "resiliency competencies" with corresponding "example actions" that students, ergo employees, should be able to perform."
