Adams County Agribusiness Workforce Assessment- June 2023
The Adams Economic Alliance, The Center for Youth & Community Development, and Allegro Learning Solutions collaborated to conduct a workforce needs assessment of community stakeholders to include agricultural workers, farmers, business owners, and migrant seasonal farm worker families. This project was funded through SCPa Works, the Southcentral Workforce Investment Board. SCPa Works identified a need to gather baseline data and insights from Adams County Agricultural industry stakeholders with the goal of identifying workforce development needs and thus the tools to best support the community.
