TRAINING ASSISTANCE

An educated workforce is the key to a strong economy. Therefore having a workforce that’s dedicated, skilled and well prepared to bring innovation and productivity to the job is essential. The OCIC provides employers with job training assistance through regional and state partnerships and federal programs, designed to keep your workforce ahead of the curve.

The Workforce Innovation and Opporunity Act of 2014 (WIOA) contributes to economic growth and business expansion by ensuring the workforce system is job-driven, which supports developing skilled workers and matching them to employers. Our Workforce Services team will help you complete the necessary paperwork so you can focus on making an investment in your workforce.
