Business Services Provide Easy Access to Job Development & Training Resources
Workforce Alliance offers the full array of job development services to employers in concert with employee services through our four CTWorks One-Stop Career Centers. Whether you are looking for new employees, or want assistance training existing employees, Workforce Alliance can help. Recruitment assistance can reduce your workload because we screen and evaluate the candidates, you simply interview the best people in the shortest time frame.

Workforce Alliance cares about who you hire, and frequently provides ongoing services after placement. At no cost to you, we offer an assigned Workforce Alliance or CTWorks representative to work with you on meeting your needs, as well as a career consultant who can provide pre-screened and assessed individuals matched to your specific criteria.
   

Workforce Alliance's Business Services Specialists connect employers with potential employees and business growth services, such as:

Job Placement Services
On the Job Training
Customized training
Skill upgrades for current employees

Business Services Specialists work with businesses to match current positions with the thousands of viable candidates that go through our four CTWorks Career Centers each year. All services are offered at no charge.
