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.
With your help, we can further our mission of assisting our business community and each individual in need of a sustainable career.
