Workforce development and workforce training is so important—it is a structure that people can believe in, and that has a track record of being used wisely, efficiently and to the benefit of the people who it was set up to serve. The fact that it is maintained by Commonwealth Corporation gives a comfort level to all of us that the right things are being done. CommCorp has proven over and over again, that they have been really phenomenal stewards of that money.
