Learn why Veolia is Partnering with Cities to Invest in Workforce Development
Workforce development is critical for cities facing high unemployment and pronounced skills gaps. Without targeted investment in training, education and career pathways, these cities risk long-term economic stagnation and growing inequality. Workforce development aligns local talent with employer needs, reduces dependency on social services and attracts business investment. It transforms underutilized human capital into a competitive asset, creating more resilient and inclusive economies.
