Successful community development efforts are rarely the byproduct of a single company or person. It is through the collaboration of different industry partners, educational institutions and workforce development specialists working in the field that communities can develop effective strategies. During this webinar, experts from the Center on Rural Innovation shared their insights on how policymakers can build these partnerships.

The webinar was hosted by the CSG Midwestern Legislative Conference Agriculture & Rural Affairs and Education & Workforce Development committees. Participants gained insights on how policymakers can better identify workforce needs in rural communities, with a particular focus on tech-sector careers, as well as how to create and maintain a network of partners to train prospective workers.
