Reimagining Workforce Development

Workforce development isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Community foundations are in a unique position to strengthen an ever-evolving diverse workforce and to promote economic growth through proactive, transformative grants and comprehensive programs that tangibly connect to the needs of local employers and employees. This session is for rural foundations/funders. Participants will learn about innovative ways to utilize their grant funding to reduce barriers to good-paying jobs and to support apprenticeships, with a unique focus on adult scholarships for nontraditional students.
