Governor’s Weekly Message: Strengthening Our Workforce Through Collaboration and Education


Wilmington – In his weekly message, Governor Markell highlights efforts to strengthen Delaware’s workforce through on-the-job training opportunities and partnerships between businesses and our schools.

“We need collaboration among the business community, schools, and our universities to give our students the training they need to make the most of their abilities,” said Governor Markell. “By working with our employers to ensure students have the skills they need, and by giving young people the chance to experience how their schoolwork relates to the real world, we’ll build a workforce that can compete with anyone. And we’ll keep Delaware moving forward.”

Every week, the Governor’s office releases a new Weekly Message in video, audio, and transcript form. The message is available on:
