BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES AND SKILLS The Foundation’s strategic investment in regional workforce development is founded on our commitment to increase the financial stability of families in our community. After much research and hundreds of interviews about how to best achieve a sustainable impact, we are working to correct outdated misperceptions of technical education and careers. Our strategy is to invest early and often, and to introduce and reinforce the modern opportunities that exist with today’s skilled technical careers.
