Yesterday, the Nevada Job Center was able to attend Coffee with the Mayor Carol Branham. This event was special to us as the Mayor of Nevada Missouri signed an official proclamation acknowledging Workforce Development Month.
This September marks a milestone - 20 years of recognizing Workforce Development Month, a nationwide celebration proudly founded by the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals (NAWDP). What began two decades ago to elevate the vital work of our field has grown into a powerful movement that honors the people, programs, and partnerships driving opportunity and economic mobility across the country.
Workforce Development Month is more than a celebration - it's a spotlight on the professionals who equip individuals with skills, connect talent to employers, and strengthen our communities. As we commemorate this 20th anniversary, we invite you to reflect on how far we've come, recognize the incredible impact of workforce professionals, and look ahead to the innovations shaping our future.
Join us in celebrating the profession, the progress, and the people who make workforce development essential to a thriving economy.
