Expanding or relocating your company brings a wide variety of challenges – and finding the right employees for new jobs won’t be a challenge with the assistance of the Southwest Washington Workforce Development Council (SWWDC).

Once you have decided on an address for your business, the most important work begins…who are the people that will actually get your work done?

“I am a huge fan!  No one cared about my business like you.  You asked what I needed, I told you, you delivered!  WorkSource is my only source now for candidates!”

Mike Concannon – President - Concannon Paper 

The SWWDC can connect you with the right resources to assist you with important activities like:

      Candidate recruitment and screening – including proprietary assessment tools to improve candidate “fit” for your job

      Reimbursement for On-The-Job Training costs

      Customized employee training

      Employee retention support

“SWWDC’s recruitment assistance and their ability to provide OJT wage reimbursement has allowed Logic to more aggressively grow our branch office here in Vancouver, WA and also contributed to our decision to locate here vs. Portland or Seattle.”

Hans Rempel – Director of Engineering Support Services – Logic Product Development

In partnership with local Economic Development Councils, the SWWDC brings targeted resources to you including the WorkSource system and Community and Technical Colleges.  The SWWDC provides you with expertise and connection to the many resources available to help your business grow.

“Using your assessment tools has lessened my workload by streamlining the process and allowed the firm to pick the BEST possible candidates for each position.  We are very excited to be working with WorkSource and are looking forward to a long term relationship.”

Rhonda K. Kates – Director of Operations – Landerholm Law Firm
