Enhance Workforce Skills through Training

Other Information:

As the changing global economy affects Appalachian communities and businesses, many adults in the Region find it difficult to retain their jobs or seek new ones without significant retraining and additional education. Most new jobs are in sectors that require a higher level of education. To respond to new economic opportunities and weather economic uncertainty, workers must continually build skills and experience. Selected Strategies: Support the development of new workforce training and vocational education programs. Create innovative ways to re-tool the skills of the Region's workforce. Support the expansion and modernization of existing workforce training and vocational education programs.
