“Since launching the RADAR program, we’ve had the privilege of serving 529 job seekers, and the impact has been significant”, says WDB Apprenticeship Project Director Sommer Edwards. “To date, 376 individuals have enrolled in training programs, 317 have successfully completed their training, and 109 have entered registered apprenticeships, while 210 others have secured positions in non-registered apprenticeships. In 2024 alone, we’ve seen 142 job seekers find meaningful employment with the direct support of the RADAR program. These numbers demonstrate not only the success of the program, but also the positive effect it’s had on both individuals and businesses in our region.”

We strongly encourage employers who are looking to expand their talent pool to take advantage of the opportunity to connect with skilled job seekers through our upcoming virtual job fair. By engaging with our program, businesses can find workers who are not only ready to contribute but are also committed to long-term career development.
