The Daviess County Economic Development Corporation is putting plans in motion to both help strengthen local workforce development and secure state funding.
Two new positions will help achieve this.
Workforce is one of the top challenges for businesses not only in Daviess County, but across the state and nation according to Bryant Niehoff, Economic Development executive director.
In an attempt to organize all business and civic organizations Jill Campbell has been promoted to Program and workforce manager position.
In this position, Campbell will be responsible for coordinating with Daviess County businesses, education partners, and regional workforce development organizations to identify creative solutions for tackling the workforce and talent challenges.
Also, to help engage and secure support from the state’s Hoosier Enduring Legacy Program a new Community Coordinator position has been created to support the county’s involvement with the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs program.
Amber Warden has been selected to fill that position
