ABOUT JILL NEW

I enjoy managing what I call the various \"ships\" such as partnerships, fellowships, apprenticeships, internships, and mentorships. They\'re pathways that connect education to meaningful employment. What excites me about workforce development is how all these ships work together. Employer partnerships create the foundation for apprenticeships and fellowships, which provide structured pathways supported by mentorships that ensure success. I don\'t just manage programs I create ecosystems where employers, educational institutions, and participants all thrive.With 18 years of experience in workforce education, career preparation, and talent management, I specialize in building strategic employer partnerships that create opportunities for early-career professionals and career transitioners. My approach is both relationship-driven and data-informed - I\'ve grown employer partnership networks by 41%, managed fellowship programs achieving 79% conversion to full-time employment, and supervised teams managing $1.25M+ budgets.My expertise spans process improvement, data analytics, instructional design, talent sourcing and talent engagement. I\'ve designed technical solutions that reduced operational timelines from 8 weeks to 5 days, supervised adjunct instructors delivering integrated financial and career readiness curriculum, and aligned certificate programs addressing real workforce needs.I\'m passionate about roles that allow me to captain all these ships simultaneously - building the partnerships that create apprenticeships, fellowships, and internships leading to meaningful careers. Let\'s connect if you\'re working at the intersection of education, workforce development, and employer engagement.
