Workforce Development

Workforce, workforce, workforce … WEDCO is aware that site selectors and developers have changed from choosing a site primarily by location to choosing one that can offer a creative, skilled labor force. That is why we are proactive about the training needs of our employers. We are working with area schools to build on our business-education partnership, and identifying resources that can be used by companies to maximize training efforts. The tools are here—local partners, regional training providers, and financing programs—to develop the talent that will give your company a competitive edge.
