employment and training services to all job seekers and businesses in a
one-stop environment.
Vision:
Provide state-of-the-art employment and training resources
to the service-seeking public.
Values: We value employment as a stabilizing factor in families and
in the community. The
foundation of our service delivery is based on the following principles:
Customer

priority is continuous quality improvement of service delivery and
program operations to assure customer satisfaction.

through responsible management of public resources.

Environment
Goals:
The goals of
WorkSource Lewis County are:
-
Maintain a vital WorkSource partnership.
-
Develop communication strategies to reach the service-seeking
public.
-
Provide information, technology and other services that
business or job seekers need to achieve success.
 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.
