Our FIRST grant goal is to identify the clusters in this nine county region, then identify the significant sectors, then occupations in demand in those sectors. WSA2 5 year strategic plan goals are to annually select a sector, convene the significant stakeholders in that sector and develop strategies to support that sector.
