HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?
WORKORCE DEVELOPMENT
The Bergen County Workforce Development Board (Bergen WDB) fosters collaboration among local, regional, and state experts to ensure publicly funded employment and training programs are responsive to the needs of businesses and workers.
The board of directors and its committees primarily focus on maintaining a workforce system that provides quality training and access to jobs that lead to economic security and opportunities for career growth in high-demand sectors.
By engaging the local community, the WDB ensures that Bergen County’s workforce possesses the necessary skills to meet the demands of industries that experience high attrition rates and growth, thereby maintaining a pipeline of qualified talent.
