LifeLong Learning Campaign
The
Centralina Workforce Development Board hasconvened leaders from Anson, Cabarrus, Iredell, Lincoln, Rowan, Stanly, and Union in all sectors - K-12 education, workforce and economic development, higher education, community-based service providers – to find how we can best prepare our neighbors for the challenges of a 21 century economy. The result of this effort was a plan that not only can guide us to ensuring economic prosperity for our neighbors and children, but also has already started to make new connections among our organizations.
Please take the time and read the LifeLong Learning Campaign Plan for the region. We encourage those who would like to get involved to please do. The Board also challenges you to take part in the plan, to adopt two of the strategies and to ask at least 3 other community leaders to read the plan. Are you up to the challenge?
