Business Services help local companies find and keep great workers by offering free support with hiring, training, and workforce planning. We work with businesses of all sizes to make sure they have the people and skills they need to grow.
Develop Skills with Paid Internships
Our Paid Internship service, also known as Work Experience (WEX) or Transitional Jobs, helps individuals gain essential job skills. We can provide interns, cover 100% of their wages, and provide workers' compensation. This allows participants to gain valuable experience while offering businesses skilled temporary workers without a long-term commitment. Businesses may choose to hire interns after their hours are complete and utilize the On-the-Job Training for continued support.
