In today’s tight labor market, employers need support in recruiting and retaining employees, assistance in fostering sustainable worker pipelines, and help connecting with laid off workers who have needed skills and are looking for new employment.
Members of the Employer Engagement team are based around the state in areas with employers in the five industry sectors of caring professions, education, manufacturing, technology and the trades. This team is focused on those five occupational groups because they are in high demand, are projected to be high-growth, and provide family-sustaining wages.
How we help
