$1. 1 million from Appalachian Regional Commission to boost generational workforce development – Marshall University News The Value of a Marshall Degree Workforce and Economic Development University Marketing & Communications International Undergraduate Students International Graduate Students Libraries & Online Research Internships & Career Development The Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine has been awarded $1.
11 million by the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) for a new initiative that takes an innovative, multigenerational approach to workforce development.
The Career Opportunities for Appalachian Legacy (COAL) project will leverage the success of the Creating Opportunities for Recovery Employment (CORE) initiative at Marshall Health to enhance workforce readiness and job placement for 400 individuals in a 15-county region across southern West Virginia over the course of the three-year grant.
Using the evidence-based approach of CORE among a recovery population, COAL will work with individuals and families who have become disengaged from the workforce due to a decline in the coal and manufacturing industries, limited development of new industry and the pandemic.
“By taking a holistic, systemic approach to workforce development, the COAL project champions the health and wellness of individuals and families while creating jobs with competitive wages and benefits,” said Ashley Shaw, director of the CORE program and leader of the COAL project. “The success of this project has the opportunity to make a positive impact on families and communities for years to come.
” The project will directly engage more than 80 businesses to match participants with employment opportunities based on the employers’ needs and participants’ professional experience and skills. In addition, the project will also support entrepreneurship and social enterprise with partnerships that provide an apprenticeship model to prepare individuals for the workforce through on-the-job training while earning a competitive wage.
Likewise, the COAL will work to develop and support business cultivation alongside project partners including the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce – Jobs for West Virginia Graduates, Circles Campaign, Williamson Health and Wellness – New Heights Consortium, Unlimited Future, Inc. and the Reach Initiative.
The project will establish partnerships across southern West Virginia, facilitate business education and training, host virtual entrepreneurship and social enterprise forums, sponsor mentorship for businesses and individuals for the development of enterprise and support local and regional business development incubators.
