September is Workforce Development Month! Since 2005, the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals (NAWDP) seeks to "raise awareness about the importance of our industry to a growing economy." As workforce development professionals are crucial in their communities, it is important to recognize the work they do. From tips and activities to spreading awareness on social media and much more, visit NAWDP's website today to learn more about Workforce Development Month.
The Illinois Workforce Partnership (IWP) is a 501c (3) not for profit organization supporting workforce development professionals representing 10 Economic Development Regions and 22 Workforce Innovation Boards in the State of Illinois. IWP are leaders in the Illinois workforce system.
