The Workforce Connection Open House

The Workforce Connection had their official opening yesterday with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 5:00 p.m.  Although they have been in their new facility since July, this event capped a major move to the Supply Core building on North Main St. in downtown Rockford.

To say the least, the facilities on the 3 floors are very impressive and gives this organization a classy look.  Compared to their past location in the shopping mall on south 11th Street, this indeed is a major improvement.  Parking was easy in the next door building and easy access to the facilities entrance on the 3rd floor.

The Workforce Connection accomplishes a great deal in providing for training our workforce: Job Fairs (this past January, they hosted 75 exhibitors and over 800 people), Incumbent Worker Training (15 different manufacturers and $58,377 provided), provided classes and graduates from TechWorks to work for Rockford Products, and many more accomplishments just in this past year.

Take a look at their web site for further information.  www.theworkforceconnection.orgThis organization is a valuable asset to our community and their new location will allow it to improve their services even further.
