FIRST will devise market-driven strategies that integrate workforce development efforts with economic development and education. 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. This work will give the WSA2 WIB the information they need to prioritize the sectors to meet their Five Year Strategic Plan goal, “to positively impact community sustainability through quality practices embedded in RMCEP workforce development.”
