Workforce Forum for small businesses

Jan 18, 2023 12:21PM ● By WNC Business
The Mountain Area Workforce Development Board, a department of Land of Sky Regional Council, was recently awarded a $904,080 Small Business Work-Based Learning Grant from the NC Department of Commerce Division of Workforce Solutions.

DWS has allocated American Rescue Plan Act funds to serve small and micro-businesses businesses with 25 or fewer employees with workforce development needs. The MAWDB will administer these funds for On-the-Job Training of new hires and incumbent worker training over a four-year period.

Should you have interest in learning more about how these funds can help your business staff and train, a forum will be held Jan. 26 from 10:00 AM – Noon. This forum will provide a general introduction with three other workforce board recipients followed by a break-out session with the MAWDB program workforce staff.

Please register at the QR code in the flyer pictured here. If you have some interest and are not able to attend the forum, please email Barbara Darby at [email protected] for information.
