Workforce Skills Development Center

The Workforce Skills Development Center is a program that was developed based on the needs of area employers. The goal of the program is to support the development of a strong economic development base by providing a skilled workforce for existing new businesses.

The Workforce Skill Development Program teaches job specific basic skills required to enter and stay in the workforce. Program Curriculum includes three components:
  • Job Skills Education Program (JSEP). Each participant is required to complete a test of basic skills as related to the workplace before being placed into the job specific component of the program.

  • Life Skills. (Work Ethic and Life coping Skills) The Life Skills component of the program includes group participation along with individualized counseling and mentoring.

  • Work Place Simulation. For those participants who the center staff feel might benefit from an additional supervised environment, the center has developed a workplace simulation.
Once the participants have met the requirements of the program, they receive a certificate stating they are proficient in the skills required for entry-level positions with participating employers. The Center's staff provides follow-up with trainees and employers to ensure trainees are meeting the workplace requirements of the employer for a probationary period of at least 12 weeks.
