Information was provided by representatives of local workforce training programs in
Monroe, Genesee, Livingston, Ontario and Orleans counties that responded to an email survey.
For the purposes of this survey, a workforce training program is one that offers middle-skills training for those 18 and over which is linked to employment opportunities in the local job market or provides direct funding to such programs or to individual trainees and students. Programs may offer associate degrees or certification but do not grant bachelor’s or graduate degrees.

Some participants in collaboratively managed courses may be counted twice, once by each of the programs.
