Workforce Watch
Board seeks feedback on state workforce system
Employers, workers and all community members are encouraged to share their thoughts on Washington’s workforce system through an online survey.
The survey is part of the Workforce Board’s community outreach as the state’s next workforce plan is created. The plan, Talent and Prosperity for All, is being developed now and will guide investments of roughly $1.3 billion in state and federal dollars that serve nearly 500,000 Washingtonians.
Many Washington employers face a serious shortage of skilled workers, and workers need family-wage jobs that offer stability and opportunities to advance.
