About The Annual Workforce & Economic Development Conference

In response to the number of concerns in our country related to jobs, our economy and solvency amongst businesses and communities, it has become a priority of EduSerc to organize a conference to target those industries and develop solutions to help us make it through these tough times. 

Therefore, the Annual Workforce & Economic Development Conference (AWEDC) was designed to develop robust industry solutions for our educational system, economy, community and small business community to help people gain access to quality employment opportunities, prepare them for the world of work, and help design long term solutions for our communities, businesses, schools and government to prevent our country from workforce and economic struggles

As a result, this conference will focus on the following industries (at a minimum):

• Culinary & Hospitality
• Engineering / STEM
• Medicine
• Legal / Law
• Finance / Accounting
• Information Technology
• Business / Entrepreneurship
• Property Management
• Media / Communications
