Providing services to the business community is a key component to the publicly funded workforce system. Businesses seek our assistance in various stages of their business cycle-everything from start-up assistance in hiring new staff, to helping them identify other business that have similar needs that they can work with, and even assistance in layoff aversion tactics or Rapid Response services.
WorkforceGPS has several communities that focus on employers including the Business Engagement Collaborative, Apprenticeship, and several communities focusing on the H-1B program. These communities exist to share ideas, experiences, resources and outcomes, and promote innovations to business engagement strategies, tactics, partnerships, measurements, and more.
