The Economic and Workforce Development division has entered into a unique partnership with the Monroe County Planning and Development Office. The County’s Economic and Workforce Development team assists companies looking to move, relocate or expand into Monroe County, with job training and employee recruitment. As part of this new partnership the County will utilize MCC's labor market intelligence web platform (<

This is a major step in reaching the web platform objective to become the tool-of-record for the region in the development of economic development strategy and middle skills gap analyses. Development of the platform was funded in part by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
