Job Skills

We don’t just see people for who they are, but also, for what they can become when given the resources they need. We want to be able to provide the connections necessary to improve the skills and knowledge of our community members so that they are sufficiently prepared for employment.

Our Job Skills Council will be identifying and promoting continued education and skill development.  This will include helping the unemployed and underemployed become better equipped for the jobs of today and tomorrow.  This will help families create sustaining incomes and our overall community grow with a better prepared workforce to attract and retain jobs.

Our Job Skills Impact Council, a multi-sector volunteer committee of nonprofit, government, education, and business leaders are experts in and/or are passionate about supporting the workforce and businesses of the Wabash Valley.

The impact council is newly formed and is still creating its strategy guide which will lead their investments and initiatives in our community to bring successful results to their agreed-upon specific outcome targets in support of the overall United Way community goal.
