Through these experiences, she’s gaining valuable insights into Workforce Development and developing her skills in a professional business environment. She’s receiving hands-on training, developing key skills, and making a real impact across multiple teams. We're proud to support apprenticeships as a vital part of Workforce Services and look forward to continuing to offer Lindsey diverse learning opportunities! ?? #ApprenticeshipWeek #YouthApprenticeship #WorkforceDevelopment

Attention #FrederickMD companies, employers, and talent managers! Please join us on December 4, from 9am to 1pm for the in-person workshop "Leveraging Skilled Immigrant Talent for Shared Success", part of our free Business Education Series. Did you know that Maryland is home to a thriving community of skilled immigrants with legal work permits, eager to contribute their expertise to local businesses? From former office managers and international scientists to healthcare professionals, educators, marketing specialists, and logistics managers—the talent pool is diverse and deep. However, these highly qualified individuals often face significant barriers when job searching locally, primarily because their education and work experience were acquired abroad.
