Tell Us Your Story

In order to ensure that your business has a talent pipeline filled with skilled workers—we need to know more about your business (skills needed by your workers, your products, your competition and the culture of your business).

Recently, the Regional Workforce Partners (as a group) began visiting our region’s businesses to hear their stories and learn about their needs and challenges. This individualized knowledge will enable us* to be more responsive to the needs and challenges of our business community.

To learn more about this initiative or to schedule a visit, contact:
