The Center for Economic Growth has been working hard to provide more workforce development programs to the region. After all, if you can’t find suitable workers for all the new jobs you create, you create problems for the companies you attract or get to grow here.

An informational meeting will take place 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday at the Desmond Hotel and Conference Center where Department of Labor officials will also be on site.
