This display of excellence gives conference participants an opportunity to review and inquire about the colleges, local workforce development boards (LWDB) and state agencies outstanding achievements in workforce development services. Exhibits are to include information on activities, programs, and/or services, including project goals, implementation strategies, and/or outcomes. Attendees should have useful concepts to “take away” so that similar activities may be considered in other service regions. Historically, each college's division of workforce development showcases their new and innovative FastForward workforce programs at this event. Prior displays included virtual reality headsets, simulators, innovations in healthcare, electrical, mechanical and pneumatic equipment, and other interactive projects. Attendees will get to vote for their favorite display and an award will be given at the end of the showcase.
