Staff Profile: Meet Wes Leatherman

Wes Leatherman is a Senior Business Development Specialist for FCWS. We asked Wes about his role at FCWS, what he likes about workforce development and how he enjoys spending his time outside of the office.

Tell us about your role at FCWS?

I am the Senior Business Development Specialist. I support employers throughout Frederick County with their workforce needs (hiring, training, attraction, retention, pipeline development, etc.).

What do you like best about working in workforce development?

Working with the people and being able to make a difference in someone's life.

If you had $30,000 to donate to a workforce development program, what would you want done with it?

Either childcare support or a formal commercial to tell the world about us.

What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?

Spending time with my family and being outdoors. When the weather is nice, a lot of gardening.
