CSP Members,
Thank you for being part of the Construction Sector Partnership - we are thrilled to have you! This month, we are launching our first quarterly newsletter, and we are excited to have this platform to share information with our partnership members. You will receive this quarterly, and we'll do our best to pack it full of valuable information.
CSP hosted a well-attended All-Partner Meeting in August - which was held at Front Range Community College. We had a special guest, Lisa Marini, share an engaging presentation on Brain Health. She shared her gratitude with the group.
"Thank you so much for the opportunity to speak at your event. I absolutely love what you are up to as an organization - it’s so needed. It was wonderful to get to know some of you and I look forward to connecting with others I didn’t have an opportunity to chat with.
Please let me know how I can support you individually or your team in the future!
And remember, the next time someone is being an a-hole, it might just be their brain’s fault!"

This program, designed and delivered through the Hispanic Contractors of Colorado, Colorado Community College System, Office of Economic Development and International Trade, Cities of Loveland and Fort Collins and the NoCo Construction Sector Partnership, will help new and developing contractors learn the tricks of the trade in construction.
Due to some incredible support, FRCC Is able to provide these courses at a drastically reduced rate. Most courses are 8 hours, with a few being 4 hours, and will be offered at $50 per class - compared to $229 for 8-hour tuition and $129 for 4-hours.
This is a great opportunity to sharpen your skills. It's also a fantastic chance to offer educational opportunities for your team or employees.

Colorado Employers Encouraged to Enroll in Good Jobs Pilot
In honor of Workforce Development Month, the CWDC and its partners are launching a campaign to encourage employers to participate in its no-cost Good Jobs Pilot. The pilot is aimed at helping employers assess the quality of the jobs they provide and learn what concrete steps they can take to improve them, resulting in an increased number of candidates and improved retention rates. The program was developed in partnership with Working Metrics, a data analytics platform.
