The Workforce Partnership of Shelby County’s mission is to align our workforce and education systems to respond to the skills needs of business and industry in Shelby County. Schools and industry will work together to build workforce training and 21st-century skills development programs that will prepare students and employees for current and future local jobs.
Deb
Deb is the Executive Director of Workforce Partnership of Shelby County. She has a background in business, manufacturing and quality systems. She enjoys spending her free time with her husband, children and granddaughter. When she’s not busy with family, Deb enjoys reading, walking or watching a good movie. Fun fact: Deb completed a zip-line excursion to conquer her fear of heights. While she found the experience exhilarating, she isn’t quite ready to skydive!
