Filling the opportunities in your community is as important as creating new ones for the Door County Economic Development Corporation. The spotlight on workforce development shines brighter during September as organizations nationwide recognize National Workforce Development Month. It is a process that Door County officially kicked off last year when the DCEDC approached local businesses about their hiring, recruitment, and retention practices. In year two of those efforts, DCEDC Executive Director Michelle Lawrie says the focus has been on developing an ecosystem in the county to help support those efforts. It has involved working with Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, We Are HOPE Employability Hub, Do Good Door County, UW Extension, and other organizations to develop a one-stop shop where people looking for job opportunities and businesses hoping to keep good employees can go.
