JEDCO & WBIA Workforce Event
Are you seeking top talent to generate growth and success for your business? Do you have an interest in apprenticeship programs? Do you know about credits available to help you build your workforce?
The Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission (JEDCO) and the Westbank Business & Industry Association (WBIA), place a top priority on developing a pipeline of skilled workers to meet our industry needs. There are many tools, incentives, organizations, and educational programs available to bolster the regional workforce, connect employers to skilled workers, and assist businesses with training opportunities.
Together, JEDCO and WBIA will host the second annual Workforce 2.0 networking expo, an event created to open the lines of communication between businesses and regional workforce training and resource providers. Business owners will meet major workforce influencers face-to-face during this four-hour networking event. This is an opportunity for businesses to learn more about available workforce resources and training programs while also sharing their hiring needs, experiences, and expectations with the essential contacts at each organization. This is the perfect opportunity to:
- Meet with training providers who teach job readiness skill courses and understand the curriculum available
- Discover high school programs: dual enrollment and Industry Based Certifications (IBC) for new employees
- Discover if your business is eligible for tax credits for apprenticeship/hiring
