On Tuesday, the OMA was invited to attend the graduation of Voyant employees from an English as a Second Language (ESL) course, an initiative supported by the Department of Development’s MEP at Columbus State and the Columbus Literacy Council. This program exemplifies efforts to reduce language barriers, enhancing both the application process and career advancement opportunities. 10 employees gained promotions post-graduation. Voyant’s workforce is comprised of over 70% untapped talent populations. Manufacturers interested in enhancing their workforce initiatives through programs like these are encouraged to connect with their local ISP and/or MEP. 5/22/2024
