2023 Speaker Series : Atlantic County Workforce Development Program

The Atlantic County Workforce Development Board are coming to The Pirates Den on March 29th to present their intuitive programs to our Chamber Members.  This is a great opportunity to see all they have to offer.  Spaces are Limited.  

• Job promotion, posting, and job fairs – we promote employment opportunities to the public via our Facebook page, direct referrals by staff, and distribution to our community partners.  We also offer virtual and in-person recruitment events
• Job matching – we query our database to “match and notify” jobseekers to suitable opportunities
• OJT – A partial wage reimbursement model that incentivizes the hiring of jobseekers from disadvantaged backgrounds or who face barriers to employment (pays up to $6000)
• Incumbent Worker Training – 50% training cost reimbursement for upskilling current employees at an approved in-state training provider
• Registered Apprenticeship – Apprenticeship increases employee retention and qualifies an employer to work as a vendor for the State of New Jersey.  ACWDB provides technical assistance, training cost reimbursement, and wage reimbursement of up to $6000
• Transitional Jobs program – Employers may take on long-term unemployed clients with no requirement to keep them beyond the program’s six-month duration.  Wage reimbursement is 100% (up to $6000)
