DuPage's Robust Talent Pool
Thanks to the work of our Board members, members of the local workforce are training for work in in-demand sectors of our local economy.
We’ve kicked off our
DuPage County Industry Insight Series!
Our first session brought together local manufacturers who actively partner with the workforce system and champion workforce development. The goal was to have a solution-focused conversation about challenges and opportunities in the manufacturing industry while gathering valuable insights from industry leaders.
Our second session brought together leaders from DuPage County's healthcare sector (along with special guest State Representative Martha (Marti) Wiles Deuter) for a vibrant, solution-focused discussion on workforce development.
The takeaways from these sessions will help inform future programs, policies, and community responses. The events also serve as a space to share resources, exchange best practices, and build connections—all to determine actionable next steps and future planning.
