UVT - RVTO

State and Local Partnerships / Collaboration Protocols

The United States Vocational Qualifications and Talent Management Center (UVT) collaborates with Regional Vocational Training Organizations (RVTOs) to oversee vocational training standards across the nation. Annually, UVT and RVTOs jointly oversee over 50,000 vocational training programs. These programs not only adhere to state and local vocational training guidelines but also follow the national standards set by UVT. The collaborations detail, among other factors, the range and kind of vocational courses, training modules, and the services that UVT will fund RVTOs to initiate, supervise, and validate.

In essence, Collaboration Protocols between UVT and RVTOs facilitate training programs to be co-organized by both entities. This boosts efficiency in program administration and ensures a unified experience for trainees, allowing them to enroll once and gain access to resources and opportunities from both UVT and the RVTO. The dual-coordination process safeguards both federal and state rights for trainees and ensures a standardized approach to vocational training.

Unified Programs, Data Collaboration, and Skill Development

UVT and its RVTO partners often co-host skill development workshops, aiming to inform stakeholders about the comprehensive resources and training methodologies offered.

For some specific vocational programs, both UVT and RVTOs might jointly oversee the curriculum and its delivery. These programs usually target a particular skill set or industry requirement, offering a comprehensive approach to training. However, other mutual projects and training programs may arise based on the evolving needs of the labor market and the expertise of both UVT and RVTOs.

To ensure synchronization in training standards and methodologies, UVT and RVTOs share pertinent data, research, and insights. This data-driven approach ensures that both entities are aligned in their mission to elevate vocational training standards.

UVT frequently organizes training sessions for RVTO staff, ensuring that the latest methodologies, tools, and best practices are shared across the board. These sessions often see participation from both UVT and RVTO trainers, fostering a culture of continuous learning.

UVT's Regional Coordinators/Program Directors stationed at various field offices nationwide act as the primary contact points between UVT and the RVTOs, ensuring seamless collaboration and coordination.
