"Hampton Roads has incredible assets, 从教育机构到各种各样的雇主, 但我们有太多毕业生流失到其他地区和其他州," said ODU President Brian O. Hemphill, Ph.D. “我们很自豪能将所有利益相关者召集到一起，以确保该地区的毕业生为填补我们这里的工作做好充分准备."
30多个伙伴组织已承诺参与这项合作. Over the next two years, 合作伙伴将开展焦点小组和调查，以确定区域最佳做法, 同时还有阻碍雇主提供基于工作的学习的障碍.

该项目将由一个执行团队领导，该团队将监督项目总监的招聘，以指导合作. 执行团队包括ODU代表Don Stansberry, vice president for Student Engagement and Enrollment Services; Nancy Grden, associate vice president of the Institute for Innovation & Entrepreneurship; and Brian Payne, vice provost for Academic Affairs. They'll work alongside HRWC representatives Shawn Avery, president and CEO, and Whitney Lester, senior director of talent development.
ODU社会科学研究中心将领导10次焦点小组访谈和一次商业调查，为咨询委员会和小组委员会提供有关该地区学生经历的信息, educators and businesses with work-based learning.
"At ODU, 我们致力于保证每一个学生的经历，为他们未来的职业生涯做好准备," Payne said. “我们期待着与该地区的合作伙伴一起扩大这一努力，帮助我们的商界找到他们需要的合格员工，并确保我们的学生在汉普顿路找到光明的未来。."

"Across Hampton Roads, 我们的教育工作者和雇主已经在他们自己的机构和组织中取得了巨大的进步，扩大了以工作为基础的学习. 将这些努力整合到一个协作框架中将极大地惠及所有人," Lester said. “这些努力将带来训练有素的劳动力, in turn, strengthen the economy of the region and the commonwealth."
