Workforce development connects us across the globe.

Our team recently met with an amazing group of African youth leaders visiting Baltimore through the U.S. State Department’s International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) and the World Trade Center Institute. We shared how Maryland uses registered apprenticeships to build strong, high-quality career pathways, and we loved hearing their perspectives on driving change in their own communities.

It was great connecting with Maryland's business community yesterday at Maryland Technology Development Corporation - TEDCO Entrepreneur Expo!

Our FAMLI team spoke with small business owners and entrepreneurs about how Maryland’s Family and Medical Leave Insurance program will help them attract and retain top talent. They also shared information about upcoming deadlines and FAMLI’s small business discount, and they caught up with Senator Bill Ferguson, who championed FAMLI legislation in Maryland.

Our team is committed to making sure small employers have the resources and support they need to navigate the FAMLI program with confidence.
