Skills Gap in Northwest Michigan - Janie McNabb and Rich Wolin on Ron Jolly Show WTCM-AM
Janie McNabb, NWMCOG Director of Program Development, and Rich Wolin, Director of Training at Northwestern Michigan College, were on the Business Update on the Ron Jolly Show on WTCM-AM to talk about the skills gap and what is being done to address it in northwest lower Michigan.
The Networks Northwest team did a great job to help the City of Charlevoix and Charlevoix Township collaborate in addressing housing challenges in our community. They facilitated dialogue with Planning Commissioners, community stakeholders, and municipal officials to develop a plan for cohesive zoning in areas of growth for our two governments. Further, they were able to pinpoint the challenges in each unit and propose changes that would be beneficial all around. Together, we believe we'll be better prepared for housing developments and job growth in our region. We look forward to working with them on future projects!
