- Embrace the broader workforce agenda that has evolved since the launch of the NEG.Four dimensions:Deepening and strengthening formal and informal relationships with territorial and federal agencies on- and off-island.Collaborating with government and private-sector partners throughout the pacific region. Advancing innovation (including social enterprise), while effectively managing risk. Shift away from “program” as the heart of workforce development and toward the idea that workforce development is about a set of people management and development practices that can be adopted in any workplace2. Engage the extended family (‘aiga’) network. Reinforce and continue to explore opportunities for off-island education, training, development for residents of American Samoa, while also seeking opportunities for US mainland residents or those from the Pacific region (Samoans and others) to learn and work in American Samoa, and reaching out to those who have returned home from military service, education, or off-island careers in particular. The networks are as important and skills and work experience in job-finding and career-making._________________________
