Workforce Trends
Nationally, the workforce development system is part of an overall system that works with business to add jobs, increase earnings and sales and maintain global competitiveness. It stands alongside K-12, vocational and two year colleges, four-year and graduate universities and apprenticeship programs, which all exist for the purpose of preparing people to contribute economically to the nation through gainful employment.
