Lowcountry Workforce Development for Breakfast
This morning's Local Elected Officials breakfast put on by the staff of the Trident Workforce Investment Board gave those who attended a great opportunity to learn more about what the region's One Stop Centers are doing, and how they can address the needs and concerns of local elected officials. Lowcountry state reps Robert Brown, Joe Danning, Jenny Horne, Anne Hutto, Tim Scott and David Umphlett showed up, along with various elected and appointed county officials from the region.
These reps included all but one of the freshmen House members from the Charleston area, a testament to the continuing can-do attitude shown by this year's Freshman Caucus, led by Scott. Several of them participated in a Question and Answer session with Workforce Board staff members.
Workforce development issues have been at the center of a lot of controversy this year, and given the high unemployment caused by the current economic downturn, it's good to see that these legislators chose to come get the facts for themselves.
