JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Jamestown Stutsman Development Corporation (JSDC) is tackling the area’s workforce development challenges in 2018.
As part of the process, the JSDC has been working with a consultant to develop recommendations and solutions for attracting more people who want to live and work in Jamestown and Stutsman County. An online survey will be sent to local businesses this month by the JSDC.
The goal is to gather input from local employers about the challenges they face when searching for employees.
“We are hoping our local business leaders will share information with us about the number and type of positions they currently have open. What education or skills are necessary to fill these positions? Do they have suggestions for training programs or community improvements that would make it easier to recruit people to work here? That’s the type of information that will help us improve our workforce development initiatives in Jamestown and Stutsman County,” says Connie Ova, JSDC CEO.
The link to the survey will be sent out via email to local businesses. A link to the survey will also be posted on the JSDC website.
“It will only take a few minutes of your time to complete. We hope the business community embraces this opportunity to share their opinions to help the entire community grow and flourish,” says Ova.
