Recompete is a collaborative effort to strengthen the economy of the North Olympic Peninsula by connecting people to good local jobs and creating the conditions for long-term economic growth. A cross-sector coalition of partners across Clallam and Jefferson Counties are implementing programs and projects to achieve this goal.
Programs connect individuals to jobs.
These programs provide individuals with the skills needed to obtain a living-wage, local job, and support services so that individuals can succeed in training or in connecting to a job. These programs are in place now and helping individuals with their employment goals.
Projects create new jobs or the conditions for economic growth.
Recompete is investing in the natural resources, maritime, and manufacturing industries to create new living-wage jobs. These projects also improve infrastructure to create the conditions for current businesses to expand, or for new businesses to operate in the region. These projects are currently in progress and have a longer timeline. Our programs for job seekers also help prepare a workforce that is ready to move into these jobs, leading to financially stable households and a stronger, more resilient economy. Read more here.
