The EWIB recognizes that the future of Eastern Connecticut’s workforce relies on coordinated planning among all of our region’s decision-makers. Accordingly, we strive to strengthen our partnerships to increase both our efficiency and the prosperity of our region’s current and future workers. No one expert or organization can solve the complex workforce and economic issues facing our region. However, by working together, partners in our region are making meaningful progress, even in challenging economic times. Rest assured as we continue to work together, effective partnerships will play an increasingly important role in our region’s success, because Eastern Connecticut’s most valuable assets are its dynamic workforce.
