WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONALS MONTH PROCLAIMED IN THE UNITED STATES VIRGIN ISLANDS Gov. deJongh proclaimed the month of May 2008 as “Workforce Development Professionals Month,” in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The economic development of every region of our country and here in the Territory, as well as the ability of our businesses and industries to compete in the global economy is more than ever before dependent on the availability and quality of a skilled workforce. The complexity and fast-paced change in our economy and labor markets puts new demands on individuals and employers at all levels. Job seekers need the assistance of knowledgeable and dedicated professionals to facilitate the process by which our workforce identifies, prepares for, obtains and maintains employment and self-sufficiency. Employers depend on similar levels of professional services to help them recruit and retain a competitive workforce and continually upgrade the skill sets of their incumbent employees. |
