We offer advice and information to jobseekers and work with a network of Partners throughout the state to help people get job-ready through mentoring, training and development. We work closely with employers to help them identify the skills and experience they are looking for in their workers. This means we can connect employers with the right candidates for the job. We run programs that assist jobseekers to find work and employers to find candidates with the right skills and experience.
