Workforce Development Awards Committee
Recognizing the importance of a skilled local workforce to a health economy, this committee has worked very hard over the last few years to solicit funds from various business sectors to increase cash grants from $1200 to over $20,000 a year. Grants of up to $2,500 have been awarded for tuition and required materials at trade schools and colleges to people of any age needing money to improve their work skills. The application period for 2008 has closed.
Scholarship Foundation
This 501(c)3 is the charitable entity organized to allow that donations to the Workforce Development Awards may be fully tax-deductible as charitable contributions. Contact Ric Teagarden, Presdient, 749-4855, for more information.
