onto the job site ready to work with the skills
to succeed, such as work ethic, drive, deter-
mination and resiliency. “And there is also the
bottom line impact of working withWBF,” adds

ness case every organization understands and
is something that WBF can help address.”

nerships “help us fill a training gap that drives
