Mission
Our mission is to support West Virginia's economy by improving the state's existing workforce and the organizations that employ these workers. We accomplish our mission through training, technical assistance, and the development of innovative strategies for business development. Many of the learning experiences from CESD projects are used to enhance teaching and research activities at West Virginia University.

CESD projects often involve the development and testing of educational materials, which are then brought back to the classroom at WVU or other schools. We are a major contributor to the practical education of students.
