Workforce development is a key initiative of MVA. We realize that economic and community development can’t succeed without a strong workforce. MVA is committed to developing and supporting workforce programs that:
- Prepares our area for future industries
- Work for all residents
- Emphasizes opportunities for our young people
- Supports are local business community
- Attracts new businesses to our area
To accomplish this we plan to support and partner with a variety of local organizations. You can help us in two ways. First, you can tell us what programs you need or would like to see by giving us feedback. Secondly, you can play active role by supporting our Workforce Readiness Fund.
