Workforce Initiative Network

Welcome to WIN

Starting in 2019 as a partnership between the Boone County Economic Development Corporation, the O.U.R. Educational Services Cooperative, and the Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce - The Workforce Initiative Network exists to connect education and business in a way that prepares graduating high school students to start their career.

The conversation about college/university is changing across the state as we recognize not all graduating high-school students will go to a college/university - and that's okay. It's not a decision that makes you greater or less than any of your classmates - but it's simply a different path.

In our 16 school district region it's estimated that 60% of graduating seniors will go to college... 40% will not. The WIN (Workforce Initiative Network) Program is designed to reach that 40% and put them into a career with a 'living' (not just minimum) wage.
