NAVASOTA APPROVES “WORKFORCE ADVISORY BOARD”

  
Brad Stafford
(Navasota City Manager)

The Navasota city council has given its approval for a Workforce Advisory Board and approved a resolution of support.

The move will make workforce education available for Navasota adults who are underemployed, or unemployed, due to lack of skills.  The move will also make them job-ready for industries or retail businesses.

The project is a collaborative effort of The Texas Workforce Commission, Blinn College, and the City of Navasota who will provide the Navasota Center as the training facility.

Navasota City Manager Brad Stafford said the city is “working with Blinn and the Workforce Commission to create this opportunity for local citizens that will enhance the employee pool for local industries as well as retailers.”

Newly approved advisory board member Chris Kehl said they’ve “identified roughly 300 underemployed or unemployed in this area. Some of that is because of jobs lost at the industrial park and some who never got any job skills.”
