In this episode, Ron Painter, the CEO of the National Association of Workforce Boards, explains how workforce boards operate, why they are important for employers, including those in the energy sector, and how to make connections with the 500 boards across the United States. He stresses the value of participation with these groups that manage federal dollars allocated for workforce initiatives within local communities and have the ability to make connections between men and women looking for skilled jobs and companies that seek motivated and job-ready talent for permanent and part-time positions.
