Workforce Development

Workforce Development is an important component of the Durham Chamber's effort to build and sustain a healthy economic climate. Everyone benefits from a highly skilled and educated workforce. By working together to provide and train great employees, existing companies will prosper and new companies will continue to come to Durham to employ our workforce. 

The Chamber's Workforce Development division works closely with the Economic Development team. We work strategically to better align skills of Durham's residents with the many wonderful career opportunities available in our community. We collaborate with many local organizations to create positive, systemic change in our community by seeking ways to turn challenges in our community, into opportunities. We promote life-long learning from cradle to grave. Click here to view a list of programs.
