Building the Future Workforce

As a response to the workforce shortage Otter Tail County has partnered with CCS to oversee the County's youth workforce initiatives, now supplemented with the MN Department of Labor & Industry's Youth Skills Training Program.  With 9+ school districts, 3,500 high school students, and almost 2,000 businesses, CCS is helping to:

• Build the future workforce of Otter Tail County.

• Build bridges between businesses and schools. 

• Strengthen strategic workforce partnerships throughout Otter Tail County. 

• Support the process of student career exploration in the high schools.

• Provide resources and funding for high school educators.

Amy Johnson, of CCS, will offer strategic guidance to both employers and secondary educators and admin for placement of students in career exploration opportunities.
