Rural Workforce Development

The 60,000,000 Americans in rural communities face unique challenges and opportunities to develop a skilled workforce. Please join the Mid-America Economic Development Council webinar on Rural Workforce Development to learn from the experts at the Montrose Group about what strategies are working to create opportunities for the retention and attraction of skilled workers aligned with in—demand occupations and high-wage jobs in rural communities. Montrose Group, LLC is a national economic development consulting firm that has worked with dozens of rural communities and developers to foster growth and development through the use of smart planning and local, state, and federal government tax incentives and public finance tools. Montrose Group, LLC also recently published a Rural Corporate Site Location Guide that provides strategies for companies to consider when looking for rural markets for their job creation and facility investment. This webinar will provide an interesting and interactive discussion and help rural markets build a workforce development action plan.
