What is supplier investment versus supplier development?

Supplier development is the capacity building work that prepares those suppliers to win and deliver contracts, including certification, technical assistance, and prequalification. LocalContent.com verifies both.

What is workforce investment versus workforce development?

Workforce investment is the capital deployed to local workers through wages, benefits, and training stipends tied to projects. Workforce development is the capacity building work that prepares workers for those jobs, including pre-apprenticeships, registered apprenticeships, skills training, and career pathways. LocalContent.com verifies both.

What is community benefit investment versus community development?

Community benefit investment is the capital deployed to communities through Community Benefit Agreements, host community funds, and direct social investment.

LocalContent.com verifies both.
