Great Lakes Workforce Quality Initiative
Mission and Objective
The Great Lakes Governors want to ensure that people in their states
have the skills necessary to compete and thrive in today’s
economic marketplace. They also want to ensure that current and
future workers develop the skills necessary to create and use the
technology that maintains the region’s competitiveness. The
objective is to create the Great Lakes Guarantee, a portable, regional
endorsement of skill certification that supports systems based upon
state or national industry skill standards.
The Great Lakes Guarantee is a long-term regional commitment that
the Great Lakes Governors have made to develop an excellent, front-line
workforce based on the use of skill standards. The Guarantee will
declare that a worker’s skills sanctioned in one Great Lakes
state are recognized in all Great Lakes states. By recognizing and
validating skills regardless of where they are acquired, the Guarantee
fosters lifelong learning critical to the region’s competitiveness
and to the employability of the region’s workers.
