AURORA, N.Y. — Wells College recently announced that it has started a new strategic initiative in workforce development and hired Amy Considine, Ph.D. to join the administrative team as the VP for workforce partnerships.
In her new position, Considine will partner with industry leaders, creating certification programs that will provide local and regional businesses with new resources to develop and advance their employees, the college said.
“Wells is thrilled to have Dr. Amy Considine join us as we launch our new strategic initiative to connect Wells to the workforce needs of our time. She brings a wealth of experience to Wells and will lead our initiative to tailor our educational opportunities to meet company needs,” Wells College President Jonathan Gibralter, Ph.D., said in a Sept. 29 release. “Bringing higher education together with business and industry is critical for all of us and Dr. Considine is just the person to move us forward.”
Wells College will task Considine with forging partnerships between the college and regional employers. The goal is to generate new opportunities for professionals in the region to develop their skillsets and advance their careers. These new certification and professional-development programs also will allow Wells College to become a broader resource for the community, it contends.
Considine brings more than 25 years of senior leadership experience, having worked in a range of industries, the college stated. She has extensive experience in logistics, project management, and customer experience, per Wells. Considine holds a master’s degree in business management from Nazareth College, as well as a doctorate degree in education in executive leadership from St. John Fisher University.
Wells College is a private coeducational liberal-arts college located in Aurora, on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake. The college says it offers dozens of majors and minors in the sciences, arts, humanities, and pre-professional programs. It also offers 15 NCAA Division III athletic teams.
