Workforce Development
Quality skilled labor is hard to come by in many communities, but not in Marshfield.
While other rural areas are faced with skilled labor pools that are shrinking, our workforce pipeline is continually being fed by an educational system that is committed to preparing all of its students for careers, not just college.
Our local school district places a strong emphasis on career preparedness and our existing workforce benefits from access to continuing education and skilled job training through our relationship with nearby Ozarks Technical Community College.
We have the skilled workers you need today. And we’re training next wave to be prepared for the opportunities you have in the future
SKILLED WORKERS YOU NEED TODAY and TOMORROW
CONTINUING EDUCATION AND SKILLED JOB TRAINING
