It recognizes that not all employers can provide the same levels of commitment to or involvement in a particular program or initiative, but that any employer can be engaged in one or more activities if the experience is designed and supported with employer capacity in mind. It also recognizes that employer engagement is not just one person in the organization’s job, but takes a concerted effort of staff and partners across the entire organization or initiative.  \nThis guide is a companion to the New Ways Work-Based Learning Toolkit, which provides detail on the overall approach to work-based learning and definitions of the full range of work-based learning activities provided for students or young adults over the course of their engagement with particular program. It also provides tip sheets, fact sheets and tools to support each experience. All individualson the employer engagement team should be familiar with the toolkit—in particular the elements designed to support employer participation.  \nThis guide is focused on framing and building capacity at two levels. The first level, described in Section One of the Quick Guide, is focused on the strategies your organization and partners can apply to effectively recruit and fully engage employers. Whether you represent a school, communitybased organization or intermediary that is committed to making and managing the employer connections for your school or program, paying attention to and addressing each of the Five Organizational Strategies described below can greatly improve your employer recruitment and engagement capacity.  \nThe second level, described in Section Two of this Quick Guide, focuses on activities that individuals conducting engagement activities can use to build their own personal capacity related to recruiting employers. By applying some basic marketing and sales strategies and approaches drawn from the private sector, all of those involved in employer recruitment, engagement and support can benefit from being aware of and applying the Four Simple Steps described in this section.  \nAs the call for expanded work-based learning opportunities grows, it is important to shift from an individual approach to the employer recruitment, engagement and support process to one that can be embedded in a local system, with responsibilities spread among a number of individuals at the schools, community based organizations, community colleges and intermediary partners. The intent of this guide is to help improve employer engagement capacity of both individuals and organizations now, and lay a foundation for a broader local engagement effort in the future  \nBuilding Partnerships for Youth Success Ó New Ways to Work 2005-2019 [www.newwaystowork.org](www.newwaystowork.org)  \nEffective Employer Engagement  \nFive Key Organizational Strategies  \nWhat can schools, community organizations and/or intermediary partners do to effectively engage employers?  \nEmployers can play a number of critical roles in an effective community-based program or school. They can serve as design partners, inform curriculum or training, support activities in the classroom and provide a wide range of work-based learning activities for students or young adults. It’s important for the organization’s entire team to be engaged in the employer engagement process and to view employers as customers as well as partners.
