NEPA Logistics & Transportation Industry Partnership: The Northeast Pennsylvania (NEPA) Logistics & Transportation Industry Partnership has developed a model for Transportation and Logistics that combines the competency model approach with a career pathway. The model serves as a roadmap for employers and employees, outlining the necessary skills and competencies required for employment in the logistics and transportation industry and mapping possible careers.

LATTC uses Competency Models for Career Pathways and Stackable Credentials
Los Angeles Trade and Technical College (LATTC) is using a sector-based workforce development strategy to help students earn stackable credentials and advance along career pathways. Program planners are customizing the basic Building Blocks version to create competency model frameworks in support of these initiatives. LATTC developed a competency model for the Utility Industry using it to inform industry partnerships, support curriculum development, define career ladders, and provide a framework for stackable credentials.

Career Lattice Demonstrates the Value of Direct Care Occupations:
The workforce system seeks to change the public's perception that direct care work is unskilled, unrewarding and lacking opportunities for advancement. DirectConnect, an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grantee at the University of New Hampshire's Institute on Disability, used ETA's Sample Career Ladder/Lattice for Long-term Health Care to develop its own professional Direct Care Career Lattice. DirectConnect's Direct Care Lattice demonstrates that these jobs require significant skills and offer many opportunities to progress into other healthcare-related occupations.
