The proposed project will address industry-driven demand for a better-prepare workforce. Wilcox Works is a non-profit organization formed to link workforce development and education together and to address the skills gaps that exists in the Wilcox County workforce. The Wilcox Works Board members, many of whom represent local industry, serve as advisors to ensure the staff is adequately providing the necessary training that address the needs of the citizens and the local businesses. Wilcox Works’ number one strategy is to provide the workforce readiness, basic math, and safety training at the Wilcox Works office, local churches or on-site at industry plants. This initiative will provide valuable job training and assist the companies in Wilcox County, as well contiguous counties, to reliably hire a workforce with basic employability skills
