Economic Development Workshop - EDA Denvernado-web
On June 8, 2012, the Denver Regional Office of the Economic Development Administration held a workshop for economic development districts. This presentation was given as part of EDA's Know Your Region curriculum on economic development planning.
The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is a locally-based, regionally-driven economic development planning process and document that creates the space for your region to identify its strengths and weaknesses and
brings together a diverse set of partners to generate good jobs, diversify the economy, and spur economic growth. An effective CEDS allows a region to maximize its economic development potential, as well as engage with the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) and other federal partners. During this 101 training, you’ll learn more about the “what and why” of the CEDS, CEDS planning fundamentals, best practices, and latest trends.

This webinar can be seen in its entirety on www.nereta.org ..then click onto the training page.
Did you know that there is money available for workforce planning that does not come from the Department of Labor? IT's TRUE! The Economic Development Administration (EDA) provides workforce planning and implementation funds as part of the comprehensive economic development strategy planning process (CEDS).
The problem with CEDS planning the way it is currently done, is that most CEDS are written by economic development folks who only provide lip service to coordinating with workforce professionals in the plan, (most often providing nothing more than offer labor force statistics with little analysis of gaps, trends).
Unfortunately, most workforce development professionals don't know what CEDS planning is, even though coordination with the workforce system is a required part of CEDS planning. Therefore, workforce development professionals should not only understand the CEDS process, but inject themselves into the process...or even lead the process!
This webinar will teach you everything you need to know about CEDS:
What are the programs of the EDA?
What is an Economic Development District (EDD)
What is a CEDS?
What is a CEDS Supposed to Do?
What does a high quality CEDS have?
We are very fortunate to have two amazing speakers for this webinar!
Paul Raetsch is the Retired Regional Director of the Economic Development Administration Philadelphia Regional Office. Paul oversaw the CEDS planning for regions throughout the northeastern US going back as far as 1971! This man has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in regional planning that you will greatly benefit from!
Presenting with Paul is Mike Aube, President of the Eastern Maine Development Corporation, host of the "mobilize Eastern Maine initiative. Mike has also served as Legislative aide to Senator Mitchell, EDD Director, EDA Economic Development Representative, State Director of Rural Development, as well as Mayor of Bangor, Maine.
