A healthy workforce is the engine of a healthy economy: providing incomes for individuals and their families; providing momentum for commercial growth. Our goal is to nurture the workforce in Region 1 with an eye to the future. This is a broad goal which results in economic expansion from the bottom up. We understand that in a global economy our workforce must rise to meet new challenges.

Our commitment to business is centered around our desire to facilitate a network of opportunities in which employers can expect up-to-date information on cutting edge business trends, programs or financial opportunities which will propel their business toward success. Developing and maintaining such a relationship requires a sharing of knowledge of an employer's short and long term plans for addressing their industry's changing market. Achieving such a relationship rewards an employer with timely access to a skilled workforce and resources imperative to successful business practices.

Our commitment to workers is to assist in advancing their work skills to match their career goals. Whether a student, a disabled person, a worker looking for advancement, or a retired person seeking a second career, Region 1 will provide valuable assessment, training and job search services.

We at Region 1 Workforce Investment Board look forward to serving you.

Sincerely,
Bill Rock, President of Snowshoe and Chairperson of Region 1 Workforce.
