Serving as southwest Connecticut's Workforce Development Board we administer job training and preparation funds distributed by state and federal agencies. To provide much needed additional "fill-the-gap" services and training, we also pursue competitive grants and funding from foundations and corporations. Together with community partners, The WorkPlace provides targeted programs and employment services designed to help job seekers identify or regain a career that will facilitate their success. Additionally, we ensure that employers are able to find the workforce talent they need to operate and compete in a global marketplace. We regularly share ideas, best practices and lessons learned with lawmakers, foundations, think tanks and other workforce development organizations around the country. The WorkPlace operates American Job Centers (AJCs) in Rhode Island as well as Massachusetts. The WorkPlace also provides guidance and support to several AJCs in New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia, New York. The total cost of the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is $13,151,948. $11,836,754 (90%) is funded through a U.S. Department of Labor grant. The other $1,315,194 (10%) is funded through non-federal resources.
