For Business Entities we collaborate with education institutes, government agencies, business organizations, and the general community for the purpose of integrating a variety of services to businesses and individuals seeking employment.

Downsizing Assistance / Business Closure
We can reduce the stress of having to conduct a layoff or a closure alone. We have a variety of services that will ease this process for employers.

We coordinate on-site workshops on Job Search Assistance, Resume Writing and Interview Skills.

Labor Market Information

Information and Referral
The WorkSource Center can provide employers with information and BusinessSource referrals for:

Subsidized Employee Training and On-the-Job Training (OJT)
WorkSource staff will assist employers in identifying appropriate resources to meet their training needs for new and incumbent workers under our Subsidized Training Program.

On-the-job training (OJT) is a wage reimbursement program that defrays the cost of training a new employee. OJT is training conducted by the employer to a paid employee (training wage) to provide the employee with knowledge and skills essential for the performance of the job. We reimburse the employer up to 50 percent of the trainee’s wage rate, the cost of providing training and additional supervision related to the training. The length of an OJT contract is determined by the skill requirements of the occupation, the skill level of the participant, and prior work experience. We take the hassle out by providing recruitment assistance and performing virtually all the paperwork.
