September is Workforce Development Month

Governor Jared Polis has declared September Workforce Development Month. Each September, we celebrate Workforce Development Month to recognize, honor, and publicize the contributions of our nation’s workforce professionals. Workforce Development Month was created in 2005 by the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals (NAWDP). It is a great opportunity to heighten public awareness, strengthen alliances, leverage resources, and increase the number of people who understand the vital role workforce development plays in our nation’s economy. Read the full press release and proclamation.

Arapahoe/Douglas Works! staff are instrumental in the community, creating essential links between businesses that are looking to recruit jobseekers and the available education, training, and support resources.

Follow A/D Works! on X or LinkedIn to stay tuned to see how we are working to support employers, workers, job seekers, and learners across Arapahoe/Douglas counties.

On September 12^th, there will be an Open House at the Castle Rock Workforce Center on the ACC Sturm Campus. The event offers an opportunity to meet your local workforce center staff and learn more about available services. There will also be job seeker and business networking.
