I've had people kiss the walls.

Richard Hurd

Companies are looking for people who know how to be independent, make good decisions, and be a team player...any student who is going to be in the workforce can benefit [from the event].

Carl Van Horn

It is a good workforce in Hastings.

Dee Haussler

It's a new technology application in the workforce, and it's a catalyst. It better positions us to be more competitive to compete for other aerospace and aviation technology oriented businesses.

They put me in touch with the Tennessee Community Workforce Development Center in Gatlinburg, took a couple of tests and they told me what my options were as far as programs I can get into. I chose the EMT. I had thought about going into the medical field, and that was just an opportunity for me to do so.

Eric Arnum

Even after 9/11, when their life-saving role became clear, employers have dragged their feet on raising wages to a mostly African-American workforce.
