Page 9 - 2014 DGB Annual Report

Working closely with the private
sector, the REDC has designed local credentials to assist in new and existing employee skill development. Workforce development roundtables and survey research across manufacturing, retail, agriculture, and allied health sectors are conducted throughout the year
to determine current needs for the workforce and the facilitation of new educational programing design.
As part of the reorganization to centralize economic development activities at
the College, the Yavapai College Small Business Development Center was moved to the REDC. In 2014, the SBDC expanded its service area, now operating out of 4 locations with mobile counseling services that provide a wide variety of expertise
to serve all business start-up, retention, and expansion needs. The REDC and SBDC also provide services for Yavapai College’s business incubator, the Rural Center for Entrepreneurship, emphasizing assistance with intellectual property rights, commercialization of products, and contracting.
Headlines proclaim the significant economic impact of the 2014 NJCAA Division 1 Soccer Championship tournament that Yavapai College hosted with Prescott and Prescott Valley.
