Addressing Workforce Readiness in West Virginia
West Virginia faces significant challenges in preparing its workforce for the technology sector, particularly among recent graduates. The Training for Tech Workforce Readiness grant targets these challenges, aiming to enhance the readiness of graduates to meet the demands of a growing tech industry.
