Boost Workforce Skills: Join MCH Workforce Development Center's New Cohort

Teams will participate in a seven-month cohort with five other state/jurisdictional teams, while the center supports their work on an existing or planned project to increase workforce skills and capacity.
Submit a two-page project description and join a one-hour exploratory call to complete the application process. For more information or to discuss ideas, contact Amy Mullenix: amy_mullenix@unc.edu, (919) 843-4457. Learn more and apply. Deadline: 5 p.m., Feb. 4.
