Workforce Development & Training

A big challenge companies face is finding employees with the background, education and experience to assume the technologically challenging jobs required in manufacturing and business today.  A primary goal of the USMBC is to improve area workforce training so that jobs can be filled – and careers built – with the local labor force in Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne’s and Talbot Counties.

UBMBC workforce development activities include:

• Co-sponsoring courses with Chesapeake College.
• Working closely with USMBC member companies to ensure they receive the assistance they need to manage a changing workplace and maintain high productivity.
• Participating actively in the activities of the Upper Shore Workforce Investment Board.
