How did TrainND emerge?

Originally, the “Workforce Training Initiative” was established by the state legislature in 1999 to ensure the vitality of ND businesses. Businesses needed access to training programs that could equip them to go to the next level and attain optimal performance from employees. This training program needed to span every industry and be able to facilitate any type of training for any type of skills. Hello TrainND!
