You understand your state’s workforce needs better than anyone else. We understand apprenticeship and workforce strategy and how they may be able to support your state’s Strategic Plan.
With today’s workforce climate often changing at lightning speed, JobForward can serve as a trusted partner in navigating the evolving workforce landscape. Our staff stay abreast of new regulations in the apprenticeship and workforce arena. We’ve partnered with companies in solving workforce needs within emerging technology sectors, such as cybersecurity and wireless infrastructure.
When a fast-growing web business risked moving its operations because of a lack of a trained workforce, JobForward quickly developed a Registered Apprenticeship program to meet immediate and future workforce needs, while also securing funding to support the program. With the integration of Training Funding Partners, the organization has strengthened its capabilities, partnering with state, federal, and local agencies to create programs and support workforce development and talent pipeline needs.
We have worked with a variety of stakeholders, including businesses, educators, labor organizations, community leaders, job seekers, and job center staff to ensure workforce development programs align with local needs and goals. If it involves workforce, we can help you support the needs of your constituents.
