Workforce & Talent Development
Most economic developers will attest that workforce and talent development is perhaps the most critical element of any community and economic development effort. For this reason, our center offers a series of badges, certificates and trainings you can utilize so that workers have the skills necessary to be more productive. These skills range from being work ready by learning life skills employers are looking for to basic remote work to foundational skills for unemployed and underemployed adults. At the end of the day, ensuring workers are plentiful and well-skilled to remain productive is a strong expectation from businesses. We can help your community or region become attractive to businesses by developing workers and talent.
