Effingham Regional Growth Alliance

#WhyWednesday from our #ERCF Board Secretary, Courtney Yockey! Courtney, the President and CEO of the Effingham Regional Growth Alliance, sees #COREacademyIL as a long-term benefit to the businesses he works with on a daily basis. “It’s important to be involved with ERCF, because I regularly receive feedback from local businesses regarding skills gaps in the workforce,” he said. “I can assist in identifying opportunities to develop new training programs and have a direct link to current Incumbent Worker Training programs that may prove useful for CORE Academy.” Thanks for your support and your work in the community, Courtney!

I'm very proud of the progress the CORE Academy has made, it's a great asset to local and regional employers!

Exciting news for the Village of Dieterich and the Frichtls, thank you for investing in our community #ruraldevelopment #ecomomicdevelopment Brittny Gipson, Brad Hardiek
