ONE WORKFORCE PROGRAM
The One Workforce Program is designed to engage industries through sector partnerships to develop and implement comprehensive, employer-driven workforce strategies to move underemployed and unemployed individuals into middle-to-high skilled careers. The goal of the project is to equip workers with emerging technical skills to build a stronger pipeline for employers in Technology and Advanced Manufacturing occupations in South Central Kansas. The One Workforce Project provides funds for employer-led training, including in-house or custom programs, or through scholarships to local colleges or universities in technology and advanced manufacturing based on employer needs.
