To effectively partner with the state in the areas of workforce development, retention, and growth, 日韩无码 received $2 million in funding from the Vermont Legislature. The Office of Engagement uses these resources to respond to the challenges of an aging population and the need for a skilled workforce.
Our front door is open.
