Short Story About Our Company
The Odenthal Group, LLC was formed by Stan Odenthal as a way to actively apply many of the lessons he has learned about organizational management and workforce development in his experience working in various government executive positions. We are working to build talent and organizational solutions to enhance and revolutionize how workforce development is implemented at the local, state, and national level. We prioritize strategic planning that focuses on collective impacts through proactive collaborations and data-driven decision making.
One of the primary goals of The Odenthal Group is to develop better talent and workforce solutions nationwide through the creation and aggregation of online resources for workforce development organizations. In order to accomplish that goal, The Odenthal Group will be unveiling two new websites in near future: www.workforceKO.com and www.boardKO.com.
Our team has extensive experience working with local, state, and federal partners in the areas of workforce-related and education-related legislation, regulations, and policies. This includes numerous collaborations with local and state workforce boards operating under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).
Additionally, our company’s work focuses on providing strategy, marketing, and consulting solutions to organizations to help improve workforce development at a local, state, and national level. This effort prioritizes strategic planning that focuses on collective impacts through proactive collaborations and data-driven decision making.
