EDC Earns Award
The Adirondack Business and School Partnership (ABSP) recognized many organizations for their contribution to ABSP's efforts to form links to strengthen the area workforce at the 2006 Business & Education Awards Luncheon on October 25.

Executive Director Lisa Sax acknowledged EDC's "active role in promoting workforce education programs since the organization launched in 2004."

The Adirondack Business to School Partnership's objective is to develop a coordinated strategy between businesses and schools, facilitating the connection for students to improve their employability. The intent is twofold: to meet the employment needs of businesses and other organizations, and to generate and strengthen a workforce from regional schools. This strategy will result in more stable employment opportunities for area students and residents while at the same time provide a workforce to support growth in the region.
