County leaders discuss expanding workforce development, ACT readiness and FLCC partnership
Summary
County Administrator Mark Humbert said he wants to strengthen workforce development for residents of all ages; Economic Development Director Brian Pincelli described an ACT‑style workforce readiness program and ongoing discussions with FLCC to offer it locally, and Supervisor Barry VanNostrand urged outreach to school career days.
County Administrator Mark Humbert told the committee he is interested in strengthening Wayne County's workforce development efforts for residents of all ages, not only younger workers. Brian Pincelli described a new ACT‑style program focused on workforce readiness (as opposed to college readiness) that is beginning to gain traction, and said he has been in discussions with Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC) about offering the program closer to Wayne County.
Supervisor Barry VanNostrand recommended the department reach out to local school districts to request a presence at career day events. The discussion was framed as planning and coordination; no formal action or funding decision on a new workforce program was recorded in the minutes.
