WorkForce Central is the first place to call about workforce issues.
As workforce issues have become more challenging to Pierce County employers, WorkForce Central has emerged as the logical first point of contact for solutions and information.
Pierce County business executives have made it clear that the available workforce often lacks the training and critical skills necessary for their businesses to effectively compete and take advantage of economic opportunities. Without a qualified pool of job candidates, they fill positions with less-qualified candidates or leave the jobs unfilled. Lacking a single resource for workforce questions and needs, they have to call several other companies, consultants, agencies and vendors for help.
A strong workforce will help drive the economy.Workforce development and economic development work together. Competitive businesses stimulate the economy, and a skilled workforce is essential to the effectiveness of a business. When employers invest in the development of their workforce, they are contributing to the economic prosperity of Pierce County.
WorkForce Central helps solve the workforce problems Pierce County businesses face.WorkForce Central provides Pierce County employers with one simple contact for all their workforce needs: job recruitment, screening, assessment, training, information, networking and customized solutions. Through an expansive network of public and private partnerships, WorkForce Central is able to link, broker and convene the right people and resources to address specific company and industry needs.
