OneKC WIRED

OneKC WIRED is an innovative approach to regional workforce and economic development—one that recognizes the new reality that a highly skilled, educated and trained workforce is the essential foundation of a strong regional economy.

Through OneKC WIRED, we have created a dynamic, entrepreneurial partnership strategically designed to drive significant economic and workforce development transformation within an 18-county, bi-state region. Our partners are integrating and building upon what were once independent activities to develop a comprehensive system of workforce development, education and training, and economic development to meet the region's current and future needs.

We are initially targeting the high-demand industries of advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, and healthcare; but we will continue to assess regional and industry trends and explore strategies that enhance our region's competitiveness.

OneKC WIRED Mission:  To engage innovative approaches to Workforce Development resulting in a diverse, highly skilled, educated workforce that provides a globally competitive edge for the KC region.
