Expansion, Retention, and Development
Fostering a self-sufficient region and economy through collaborative programs.
Building a Thriving Local Workforce Ecosystem
Thriving starts locally. By opening doors to opportunity, we build a self-sustaining ecosystem where students transition into well-paying local jobs, businesses support fair wages, and workers enjoy accessible childcare and transportation.
When we meet these fundamental needs, our community retains its talent, preventing worker shortages and stabilizing our local economy.
To support this vision, our specific objectives span various sectors, from transportation to manufacturing. We ensure that traded-sector companies thrive through targeted strategies such as business expansion, retention, on-the-job training, career tours, and job fairs.
