Request for Responses
Employer Partnerships Consultant
The Women’s Resource of Greater Houston (TWR) invites responses from individual consultants and firms with experience developing employer partnerships in apprenticeship and nontraditional occupations. TWR was recently awarded a two-year Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations (WANTO) grant from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Women’s Bureau, and we are seeking a fractional consultant to identify, qualify, and secure the employer partners who will help open these careers to more women in our region.
Project priorities
Initial industry priorities are construction, manufacturing, production, maintenance, transportation, maritime, non-destructive testing, and related industries. TWR will provide a seed list of prospective companies and existing leads as a starting point. The consultant will expand that list and build the pipeline through independent research, industry relationships, and strategic outreach.
Term and Accountability
We anticipate an initial 12-month contract, with a potential extension into year two. Work is expected to be more concentrated in year one. Respondents should propose a daily and/or weekly rate based on anticipated level of effort, year-by-year allocation, and deliverables.
The consultant will review the pipeline and overall progress with TWR approximately every two weeks during the first 90 days, then at least monthly thereafter. The consultant will provide a brief monthly progress report supported by Salesforce activity and participate in quarterly reviews of priorities and results.
Scope of Work
* Employer Training and Hiring Partners. Identify employers that can train and hire women in nontraditional occupations, ideally through employer-sponsored, structured on-the-job training or grant-funded training leading to a recognized credential or apprenticeship opportunity.
* Other Training Partners. Secure participation from employers, including small and mid-sized employers, that would benefit from training or technical assistance for their hiring managers, supervisors, and staff. Through the grant, TWR offers practical, right-sized support focused on recruiting, onboarding, and retaining women in nontraditional roles, such as supervisor training, employer readiness assessments, and inclusive workplace practices. Services may be grant-funded or employer-sponsored.
* Qualification and Solicitation. Assess each employer’s near-term hiring needs, long-term partnership potential, key decision makers, internal training capabilities, existing and potential credential or apprenticeship pathways, and viability as a partner (e.g., other partnerships or programs). Secure a clear agreement on each employer’s proposed participation. Target timeframe: qualification and solicitation of the priority pipeline completed within the first 120 days of the contract.
* Employer Advisory Council and Mentor Network. Help TWR recruit 20–25 members for its Employer Advisory Council, drawing from employers, registered apprenticeship sponsors, labor organizations, workforce and education partners, industry associations, and women with lived experience in apprenticeship and nontraditional occupations. The Council serves as a strategic advisory body and regional learning collaborative. It will meet five times during the two-year project to share labor market insight, identify emerging workforce needs, and recommend strategies, and in year two it will help assess project outcomes and guide improvements. TWR staff will convene and facilitate the Council. The consultant will also help identify experienced mentors and employer champions for TWR’s regional mentorship network.
* Salesforce Utilization and Handoff. Maintain accurate prospect records in TWR’s Salesforce system, including interactions, next steps, commitment status, and handoff records. Once each agreement is established, transition the employer relationship to Kelly Keith, Chief Program Officer. Kelly may join solicitation conversations when helpful; TWR staff manage implementation after handoff.
Grant Goals Guiding the Work
These are project-wide targets. The consultant’s contract will define deliverables within their control for pipeline development, qualification, solicitation, commitments, and handoffs. Across the two-year project, TWR has committed to provide the following:
- Technical assistance to 15 employers and workforce organizations
- Reach 200 employees, supervisors, hiring managers, and other industry personnel with training or technical assistance
- Support five employers with specialized apprenticeship expansion assistance
- Conduct five employer roundtables or workforce convenings
- Establish a regional mentorship network
- Help develop two new Registered Apprenticeship Programs
Experience Sought
A record of securing employer commitments for workforce training, hiring, apprenticeship, or related initiatives.
Relevant industry relationships or a credible outreach strategy in the priority sectors.
Understanding of employer training capacity, credentials, and apprenticeship pathways.
Strong consultative outreach, follow-through, CRM use, and relationship handoff practices.
Response Requirements
- Relevant experience and the person or people who will perform the work.
- Two examples of employer partnerships secured, including the respondent’s role and the resulting commitment.
- Approach to building and qualifying a pipeline across the priority industries.
- Approach to recruiting Employer Advisory Council members and mentors.
- Proposed work plan for the first 90 days, the 120-day qualification and solicitation period, and the remainder of year one.
- Rate or fee structure, anticipated level of effort, and two-year allocation, with travel and other business expenses listed separately.
- Two references for comparable work.
Timeline and submission
Responses will be reviewed on a rolling basis until a consultant is selected, with an anticipated start date of January 2027. TWR may invite selected respondents to discuss their approach and experience, and finalists will receive additional project materials as part of the next round of review.
Please submit responses and any questions by email to Christine Powell, CEO, at cpowell@thewomensresource.org.
