What is Workforce Development?
Workforce Development is an essential component of Community Resource Development which helps rural and urban communities create, sustain and retain a viable workforce that can support current and future business and industry.
There is no cost for the services of the Alabama Cooperative Extension System. New programs can be developed and existing programs can be customized to meet the needs of employers and/or communities.
We can help you in the following ways:
- Increase the capacity of local leaders, organizations, and schools to create, recruit, and retain businesses and industries.
- Enable communities to identify key stakeholders and to work cooperatively to devise a plan to ascertain community assets to solve workforce-related problems and to strengthen community capacity.
- Strengthen the capacity of individuals to (a) secure employment, (b) re-enter the workforce, and (c) remain employed.
- Support the efforts of schools and businesses as they work together to provide career exploration opportunities for young people preparing to enter the workforce.
