2.2: Training
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.
