Workforce development is an economic development approach that enhances a region's economic stability and prosperity by focusing on people rather than businesses. It is essentially a human resources strategy. Workforce development is typically found in two forms: place-based strategies that attempt to address the needs of people living in a particular neighborhood, or sector-based strategies that focus on matching workers' skills to needs in an industry already present in the region, such as healthcare or manufacturing.
