Kankakee County CEO students explored how business growth and workforce development connect during our visit with Angela Morrey and Hannah Swale of the Economic Alliance of Kankakee County and LaDonna Russell of the Grundy Livingston Kankakee Workforce Board.
The Economic Alliance helps attract new businesses, supports existing businesses as they grow, and promotes Kankakee County as a place to invest and work. The Workforce Board connects people with job training and career services while helping employers find the skilled workers they need.
Thank you to Angela, Hannah, and LaDonna for sharing your expertise and helping our students understand how these organizations work with businesses, schools, and community partners to create opportunities throughout our region!
