More About
Us
As
part of the national One-Stop initiative, our goal is to connect employment,
education and training services at local, state and national levels, both
electronically and at the WorkSource center. For job seekers this means
that you will no longer have to fill out forms with the same information
more than once, and that services are available from one site. For employers
the on-line options provide a wealth of information and the ability to
decide when you want staff assistance, or want to find workers and information
on your own.

the WorkSource Washington
Webpage for more information.

The Port of Whitman County is an arm of local government formed in 1958 by
a vote of the Whitman County citizenry. They formed the Port to do three
specific things:
- Provide access
to slack water navigation on the Columbia/Snake River System
- Promote
industrial development
- Provide
recreation opportunities on the Snake River
The
Port is primarily an industrial real estate developer, measuring part of
its success in terms of new jobs created and new tax base developed rather
than maximum return on investment. The Port values its relatively small
size, its ability to work with people face-to-face, both inside and
outside the organization, its creativity and its willingness to work with
people on many different kinds and sizes of projects. It further values
its combination of public and private perspectives; its ability to move
quickly, decisively, and effectively; its financial responsibility; and
its integrity. Access the
Port
of Whitman County Web site.
