September is National Workforce Development Month. The government wanted to acknowledge that workforce development plays a crucial role in supporting workers and growing the economy. Senator Feinstein said, “Our resolution recognizes the vital role workforce development plays in growing America’s next generation of workers as well as supporting the advancement of current professionals looking for new employment opportunities.” (https://www.feinstein.senate.gov)
To celebrate Workforce Development month, we at Provisio are highlighting some of our clients who work every single day to foster prosperity and growth for individuals and communities through skills training, career exploration, and continuing education programs.
