Current Narrative:
We will work with our SMA and FLC unit to ensure that outreach staffstay up to date with all MSFW related policies and laws.
In the first quarter of each calendar year, outreach staff will participate in a professional development session(s) that will provide in-depth information on services available to MSFWs from WorkForce West Virginia and our partner agencies. Additional training offered throughout the year may also include relevant materials available on Workforce GPS and/or development sessions offered by local, state, or federal entities.
