Workforce Development Program Administrator
CurrentManage federal workforce programs in Alexander, Burke, Caldwell and Catawba counties which provides training scholarships for individuals who are unemployed, underemployed or who have significant barriers to employment. There is a component to the workforce program for youth and young adults ages 14 - 24. Participating youth/young adults work diligently to complete their high school diploma or equivalent and/or post-secondary training. The goal of all our workforce development programs is to train and ready the existing workforce for opportunities in the Western Piedmont area. By strengthening the workforce and the talent pipeline in our community, we meet the needs of local businesses to maintain and improve our local economy and improve the lifestyles of our citizens. As the Program Adminstrator, I'm responsible for the compliance and performance of our programs. I work closely with contractor staff and provide training as needed to keep them updated about changes and new directives from the local, state and/or federal level.
