Columbus is Ready to Work for You
The availability of highly-skilled, well-trained and experienced labor is a powerful plus for locating your business in Columbus. In addition, through an unprecedented collaboration among community, business, and education leaders, many investments continue to be made in workforce development for Columbus and the adjoining region. Two such programs are:
Community Education Coalition
The CEC is a partnership of education, business, and community stakeholders that works to align and integrate the entire community learning system, economic development, and quality of life. To learn more visit: www.educationcoalition.com
Dream It Do It
This Southeast Indiana campaign of the Region 9 Workforce Board in collaboration with CEC, works to inform and educate young adults (16-26 years) about careers in the advanced manufacturing sector. This is one of seven national sites working to promote an accurate understanding of today's advanced manufacturing and to provide career guidance and links to training, internships, and jobs, as well as developing local education and training strategies.

Through programs such as these, Columbus is constantly working to increase the availability and skills of the workforce to meet the demanding and growing needs of employers.
