On June 16, 2022, the Workforce Development team gave an update to the Board of Trustees. The team’s accomplishments in the last year include finalizing definitions of workforce development and continuing education, appointing an Executive Director, and finalizing discovery. Some other key priorities Workforce identified are:
- Keeping the work of the Division nimble and responsive to state, employer, and student needs.
- Ensuring that Programs and the Division are financially viable.
- Incorporating DEI principles and practices into the Division’s work.
- The Division will support credit and non-credit offerings through Vermont State University and the Community College of Vermont.
- Good work that is currently happening will need to continue, while also looking for ways to expand opportunities and offerings.
The team will be presenting their discovery gate on July 14, 2022, to sponsors.
