The Business Council focuses on services to and for employers including training of incumbent workers, new hires and potential hires. Training must meet the workforce needs of high demand sectors by preparing skilled workers for employment in competitive and emergent industry sectors. The Business Council assists the Workforce Development Board to develop and recommend business services policy, broaden employment and training policy to incorporate the needs of employers and establish linkages with other organizations serving businesses. The Business Council meets on the third Thursday of even months (February, April, June, August, October, and December) @ 9:00 AM. *
