Description
Summary:Those labor market areas (and economic development organizations) that can design and implement community-based systems for training local workforces have a huge competitive edge in retaining and attracting employers and jobs. The Lenawee Training and Education Consortium in Lenawee County, Michigan, has made a good start on designing and implementing such a system. LTEC functions as a one-stop resource center for the coordination and delivery of high-quality, cost-effective, results-oriented training and education for Lenawee County employers. There is an estimated 40% savings on training costs for companies that use these services. LTEC's niche is based on relationship building.
