What the Donations are Used For
The Workforce Connection, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) designated organization providing a fully integrated and accessible workforce development system that balances the needs of individuals and businesses to ensure our region has a skilled workforce to effectively compete in the global economy.
Although we receive federal dollars in the form of a grant, these dollars come with eligibility restrictions and other limitations. In order for us to fully address the workforce needs, for both people and employers, The Workforce Connection needs non-restricted donated dollars.
Examples of latest initiatives that use non-federal funds: Providing Chromebooks to over 60 participants to continue their education and training; Designating three separate workshops for workplace diversity and inclusion to educate and assist employers with diversifying their workforce and creating a more inclusive workplace.
With your help, we can further our mission of assisting our business community and each individual in need of a sustainable career.
