Learning institutions working together to develop workforce in Grant County

MOSES LAKE — Various organizations and partnerships across Grant County are working together to train as many people as possible to enter the workforce to meet high demand in the county and beyond. Sue Kane, North Central Education Service District’s director of STEM initiatives & strategic partnerships, said that the workforce demand currently outpaces the number of people enrolled in workforce education programs in Grant County. “We could double the number of kids that are on track to earn that credential, just to meet local demand,” Kane said. “It's not actually better or worse than a lot of the other counties across Washington, but it's still going to take everybody to be able to get there.”
