Workforce Alliance for Growth in the Economy (W.A.G.E.) is a program designed to benefit the employer and potential employees by teaching basic skills necessary to meet the community's workforce needs.

Students in the WAGE program may earn three continuing education certificates: Industrial, Clerical, or Employability. Through WAGE, participants master the basic skills necessary for reading, writing, computation, problem solving, and communications. Instruction is customized to local business and industry needs

Employers offer job applicants added consideration if they have earned a WAGE certificate when qualifications between applicants are otherwise equal. Employers also use the WAGE program for existing workers to gain skills required for high performance work standards and technical training.
