Our Mission, Vision, & Strategy

To Ensure that the Local Workforce Development System is Market-Driven

We have a dedicated group of Officers, Board Members, Committee Members, and Staff to ensure the services and programs our counties need to move forward are provided. Our strategic plan has been developed by utilizing two key tools: the State of the Workforce Report and the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) Report. These reports serve as our building blocks in the next few years.

Our mission is consistently communicated to employers, job seekers, and the general public. We have developed new ways to spread the word on the services we offer, such as the use of this website, social media, and print materials. The NCWorks Career Centers in our Local Area are very successful and continue to grow and improve as they engage with the ten-county area we serve.

We take pride in our part in the local community and have become a force in the Piedmont Triad region. We continue to look for active participation from workforce professionals and employers alike and pledge to work toward meeting the goals set forth by the Piedmont Triad Regional Workforce Development Board.
