Striving for Success

 Our mission is to provide long-term strategies for vocational skills training, workforce development, and affordable housing to ensure diversification and attract business partnerships, investments, and community-wide collaboration, leading to sustained economic recovery and growth.
 

Through program initiatives, SWD aims to transform discouraged, dislocated, disadvantaged populations.  SWD has strategically planned separate components to their program and supportive services for all year-long employment services, to aid residents with invaluable hard- skill training, social survival soft skills to  create  an understanding of the self, environment, and employment dynamics. 

As we move through the economic crisis brought on by the global COVID-19 pandemic. SWD's  workforce agenda is clear, with a trajectory pointed towards effective and lasting support for the unemployed, unskilled workers from Missouri's East of Troost and Kansas City's metropolitan areas.
