Supporting Workforce Development through our Schools and Community Organizations

• Support specific programs in our local schools and community organizations that focus on workforce and economic development with a grant program funded by local businesses and organizations.
• Recognize and support an interaction between the schools and community organizations, and the businesses that rely on them for workforce and economic development.
