National Workforce Development Month is in September 2021 and is dedicated to increasing awareness about the growing gap in skills and the promotion of workforce development in the 21st century and beyond. Paramount believes that training helps employees learn specific knowledge or skills to improve the performance in their current roles.  Leadership development is more expansive and focuses on employee growth and future performance, rather than an immediate job role.

The focus is on the importance of workforce development leadership training as a life skill because workforce development leadership training has the potential to be effective as a psychosocial strategy to promote positive social and mental health in adolescents and adults. This training is vital to the role that employment candidates will need in developing, strengthening, learning, adjusting, and coping skills that are necessary to build confidence and emotional intelligence.  The best part about this opportunity is that we teach entrepreneurship skills; which are embedded in the workforce development leadership training skills.
