What is a workforce program?

A Workforce Program is an organized initiative designed to help individuals gain the skills, training, and support needed to obtain and retain employment. These programs often offer job readiness workshops, vocational training, career counseling, and job placement assistance. They may target specific populations such as youth, veterans, or those facing barriers to employment. Workforce Programs are typically run by government agencies, nonprofits, or educational institutions in partnership with employers to address labor market needs and support economic development.
