The AEEC Professional Career Onboarding Programs [PCOPs] are dedicated to both students sixteen years old and above and adults. PCOPs are high-quality professional onboarding programs with embedded industry standards. Obtained skills, qualifications, and credentials within the given PCOP will be recognized by the respective industry in the state and its recognition will be ensured by the mutually signed PCOP Memorandum of Cooperation by industry representatives and the AEEC.
These programs will provide individuals with opportunities to obtain workplace-relevant knowledge, experience and progressively advancing skills. PCOPs will include a paid-work and educational component resulting in receiving industry-recognized credentials. PCOPs will be developed and delivered by industry groups and corporations in cooperation with educational institutions [CTEDs and various post-secondary institutions] and will be coordinated by the AEEC to ensure its success and sustainability.
PCOPs won’t require registration. The industry-led, market-driven approach will give employers and other stakeholders in Arizona the additional flexibility necessary to expand the creation of paid professional experience model into new industries where registered programs are less prevalent and to address the diverse workforce needs of different industries and occupations. AEEC strongly supports and promotes the industry-led and market-driven approach. Arizona’s PCOPs will provide a new professional career pathway that lets industry organizations take the lead in identifying high-quality paid professional experience opportunities based on the needs in their industry. And therefore, honoring the true Public-Private Partnership spirit of the Commission by which it was founded on.
