Thank you to the National Association of Workforce Boards for coming out to New Bern, North Carolina!!
The National Association of Workforce Boards recently held their summer Board of Directors meeting in New Bern, NC. #NCWorks Commission members Rodney Carson and Jeff Frederick welcomed visitors to our state on behalf of the North Carolina Association of Workforce Development Boards, and NCWorks Commission Executive Director Dr. Annie Izod provided updates from the state level, including the #FirstInTalent Plan. Other spotlights on innovation in North Carolina featured Mountain Area Workforce Development Board's Career Pathways and Construction Career Day; the #AdvanceNC collaboration of community colleges, universities and workforce development partners in central North Carolina; Sector Strategies, represented by the Cape Fear MFG Partnership; and the Partners for #Reentry in Workforce Development (PROWD) Grant, in which our agency collaborates with three local workforce boards and the federal prison in Butner.
