Learn how businesses are utilizing training programs along with state and federal grants to attract the talent they need to keep their business operating at its fullest potential.

Following the panel discussion, we'll hold an idea session with local companies and organizations who have started partnerships with local schools and colleges or have created training programs to increase the number of skilled workers in their industry.
