CERTIFIED SUCCESS

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, by 2014, roughly 45% of all jobs will require post-secondary credentials, with only 25% of the workforce qualified for these jobs. These jobs require at least a postsecondary certificate or two-year degree. Even in times of economic slow-down, many employers struggle to find skilled workers.

In order to address this gap between worker readiness and essential job requirements, Vision Shared hosted a statewide workforce development summit, "Certified Success: Competing in Today’s Economy" on September 29 - 30, 2011 at Oglebay Resort in Wheeling, WV.

The goal? To develop action steps to increase West Virginia's rate of postsecondary credential completion: certificate, associate and bachelor degrees. Join us and help create West Virginia's future workforce!
