Are you looking for local resources that can help you connect to a thriving career?
Our Approach
Revitalizing the economy and connecting residents to good jobs is a task that requires strategies from multiple angles. Our approach includes projects that remove barriers to employment for community members, provide in-demand job skills training, and create new jobs and economic opportunities.
Job skills training
Numerous educational partners are working together to provide industry-specific skills with pathways to high-wage jobs. We are also working with employers to understand their workforce needs and creating training opportunities to equip staff or potential employees with skills to meet those needs.
Job creation &
industry revitalization
Recompete funds are helping to revitalize the maritime and natural resources industries, which will create new career pathways and attract businesses to the area. These industries are the focus because they have a low barrier to entry, provide high wages and benefits, and are existing industries that maximize our geographic advantages.
