VHEDC Launches Workforce Success Stories Initiative: Showcasing & Highlighting Careers in Manufacturing and Skilled Trades
Have you heard the forecasts regarding workforce shortages? The pros and cons – and costs of a college education vs. trade and vocational opportunities? The VHEDC has been hard at work finding ways for local manufacturing and skilled labor trades to increase visibility and interest in the wide variety of career options they have to offer.
“Success Stories†is a great way to get the word out about YOUR company. We are looking for companies who are willing to share their stories or stories of their employees about how they got involved and became successful in meaningful careers in manufacturing or skilled labor trades. It’s easy to do! We use a nine (9) question format to gather key information for the story. The story is then reviewed by a professional writer for editing or further interview, prior to publication.
In participating, your company is featured in a colored 3x7 feature in the White Bear Press. Each story includes a section to highlight your business and promote current job openings. In addition, the stories will be displayed in the 2017 VHEDC Directory, which has a distribution of 4,000 copies throughout the area for an entire year. The publication will also be made available through other online resources, including Century College, local workforce centers, and local high schools.
To participate in this exciting new opportunity, contact Ling Becker.
