Workforce Development
Connecting talent with opportunity
Like many communities, Grant County is facing a skills gap challenge—employers are struggling to find workers with the right training, as well as looking for better ways to connect our young people with local career opportunities. To help bridge that gap, Greater Grant County collaborated with local funders to develop a new position within the Chamber specifically designed to focus on workforce development initiatives in our community.
The work we'll do
Broadly, the job of the Director of Workforce Development is to champion Grant County's success through the development of strategic partnerships and networks connecting education, industry, and community resources.
Initially, this work will focus on fostering meaningful connections between schools and employers, facilitating internship and job shadowing opportunities, and guiding students towards fulfilling career pathways.
