Labor Force
While each of the four counties that comprise the Eastern West Virginia Economic Alliance are unique, one thread that they have in common is a dedicated workforce with a strong work ethic. People want well-paying jobs with employers that contribute to the community. Matching employee skills with available and future jobs is of paramount importance to support the continued development and growth of the region, and many programs exist to support this endeavor.
The West Virginia Department of Economic Development and its partners, Workforce West Virginia and the state’s extensive vocational and community technical college system, are committed in providing the best turnkey solution to meet the needs of businesses for new and existing workers. The Eastern Panhandle region’s development authorities are ready to help business drive productivity and profitability.
