Align to Hold Free Webinars Through Workforce Services Grant

Through a Pre-Hire Economic Development Grant provided by the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services (DWS), Align of Cheyenne will provide eight free one-hour webinars on a variety of human resources and supervision-related topics for Wyoming employers.

Joan Evans, Director of the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, says “Wyoming is experiencing a shortage in the areas of supervisory and management skills throughout the state, leading to high turnover and increased costs for employers.”

Align has partnered with two Wyoming-based employers that have expressed a lack of the skill sets that the training is designed to meet.

Administered by DWS, the Workforce Development Training Fund (WDTF) encourages business expansion, enhances employment opportunities within Wyoming and meets the training needs of new and existing businesses in the state. The Pre-Hire Economic Development Grants Program under WDTF provides industry-specific skill training to develop a workforce for businesses or industry when there is a shortage of skilled workers.

The first webinar will be held on September 8. Registration information can be found at the following here. Participants can receive one human resources general credit per one hour class.
