§ 34:15d-21.
a. The New Jersey Community College Consortium for Workforce and Economic Development
shall consult with each county college in the State to foster the development of certificate
programs that connect regional employers to the county colleges in the collaborative
development of programs that meet the unique needs of the employer and are directly
connected to the knowledge and skills required by the employer. The certificate programs established by a county college shall be directly targeted
to business and industry located in the region that have an identified and immediate
need to hire employees with education and skills that are not being addressed through
available training and educational opportunities. b. (1) Under a certificate program, the employer shall develop the curriculum to ensure
that it is directly aligned to the needs of the employer. The employer shall consult with appropriate faculty at the county college for assistance
in the curriculum development and to receive faculty input and feedback to ensure
the alignment of the curriculum. (2) The employer may prescreen candidates prior to enrollment in the certificate program
to ensure that the candidate demonstrates the aptitudes, abilities, and qualities
sought by the employer. (3) The county college shall provide the faculty for the certificate program and shall
make college facilities available for the program. Upon agreement with an employer, certificate program classes may be provided on-site
at the employer's business location. (4) An employer may hire an individual enrolled in a certificate program prior to
completion of the program with continued employment dependent upon successful completion. The county college shall issue a certificate to each individual who successfully
completes the program to indicate that the individual has acquired the requisite knowledge
and skills for employment in the identified field or occupation. (5) An employer who participates in the development of the certificate program shall
make a commitment to interview all graduates of the program for employment positions
that are available at the time of the participant's completion of the program.
