We are identifying and developing competitive niches within our local economy that link employee training for careers in up-and-coming markets, local worker-owned cooperatives, creation of local supply-chain contracts through microbusiness development and the acceleration of small business growth. By working together, partners see the opportunity to inject the economy with new vitality and create jobs serving a wide spectrum of skills sets.
