This event is sponsored by the WDB/HMO Regional Apprenticeship Development and Readiness (RADAR) grant program. RADAR plays a key role in strengthening the local economy and fostering long-term workforce growth. The RADAR initiative provides job seekers with free training and apprenticeship opportunities to develop in-demand skills for careers in growing sectors and connects local employers with skilled talent.

RADAR Project Director Sommer Edwards says, “Our region is experiencing an exciting shift as more employers recognize the benefits of hiring skills-based workers from within their communities. Through our training programs, job seekers gain the expertise needed for long-lasting careers. In the past year alone, we’ve seen significant success in placing people into well-paid jobs.
