County submits workforce plan; on‑site CDL training and youth outcomes highlighted
Summary
Laura told the board the county submitted its local workforce development plan to the state and that the college will offer on‑site CDL training with CDT in Kingston; she also shared June employment figures and youth‑program outcomes.
Laura said the draft local workforce development plan has been submitted to the state for review and is posted on the county website; "Once it's approved by the Department of Labor, it'll go to the board and others for final approval," she said. She told the board the college has contracted with CDT in Kingston to begin offering CDL training on-site so residents do not have to travel for that instruction.
Laura also gave program metrics: the disability resource coordinator had served 240 participants as of June 30 and was actively working with 178, and she said 45 individuals with disabilities had obtained employment. She reported the career center served 655 people in June, provided services to seven new businesses, and listed 253 jobs. On labor-market indicators she said the unemployment rate was 2.9% for June, down from 3.3% in 2024.
