Why it matters

High-skill workers in our region’s most in-demand sectors have enjoyed a wealth of job opportunities and financial gains, even amid COVID. But these advantages have not been experienced by everyone in our community, particularly those with lower income, less education, and people of color.

The workforce of the future will require industry-specific skills to unlock upward mobility and higher earning potential. This is why Workforce Solutions meets workers where they are, whether they’re looking to reenter the workforce or looking for a mid-career change
