Workforce Preparedness
Another primary economic strategy for Golden LEAF in assisting rural communities to achieve economic competitiveness is support for workforce training initiatives that result in qualified workers for target industries.
We fund projects that demonstrate a market demand for skilled workers and aim at developing skill sets required by businesses looking to locate or expand in rural communities.
The Foundation will also consider job retention projects.

"Golden LEAF provided College of The Albemarle with a portion of the resources needed to develop our boat building program. This program has provided area displaced workers the training and skills necessary to reenter the workforce."
