Build and Grow with Major League Talent

A metro workforce of 205,000 employees sustains Asheville’s diversified economic base and low unemployment rate, supported by multiple colleges and universities and driven by growing demand from a knowledge-based business sector in advanced manufacturing, comprehensive healthcare, professional services, and tourism.

With the challenges many manufacturing sectors are facing, it may be surprising to know that the Asheville region has achieved a small increase in manufacturing employment over recent years. In addition, comprehensive training programs like those found at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College blend seamlessly with local business and industry to develop workforce employees with both classroom and on-site training curriculum.

In addition, Asheville is drawing top-ranked talent from major cities throughout the U.S. to go along with its top-ranked status as a best place to live. An entire class of creative professionals and technical specialists in manufacturing, IT, global information systems, medical, and media arts are choosing Asheville as their home.
