This BILT 101 video introduces the Business and Industry Leadership Team (BILT) model, an employer-led approach to defining the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed for workforce success. It also highlights how AdvanceNC is piloting a regional variation that preserves local program ownership while enabling colleges to collaborate more efficiently with shared industry partners. The resource is intended to help colleges understand the model’s purpose, structure, and practical application as a foundation for deeper employer engagement.
