Local input sought for skills center survey

To The Eagle:

There is a regional effort underway to complete a feasibility study for the creation of a new skill center to assist high school students to receive much needed job skills. More information on skill centers in Washington can be found on line at http://washingtonskillscenters.org/.

Please share this with area businesses and students. The original opening of the survey did not get any input from Wahkiakum County businesses, and we would like to add input prior to finalizing the process. We did receive some input from students in the county but can always use additional input. The service area for the program would include Wahkiakum, Cowlitz and portions of Lewis county. Details on programs and location of the proposed skill center are to be developed later.

This input is important to the possible outcome to the feasibility, so please share and encourage others to participate. Here is the link to the survey:
