The Jefferson Workforce Connection Business Center is a cooperative endeavor between the Jefferson Chamber of Commerce and the Jefferson Parish Workforce Connection. It is funded through Title 1 of the Workforce Investment Act which is locally administered by Jefferson Parish Workforce Investment Board.

The mission of the Business Center is to help grow the Jefferson Parish economy by linking employers to qualified job seekers and providing the necessary support to create successful job placements for the employer and the job seeker. The Business Center continuously monitors the business climate and adapts its services and assistance based on ever-changing workforce needs. The primary goal of the Business Center is to create more employment opportunities for job seekers of the One Stop system through outreach with the business community.

If finding good people, trained people, and experienced people is what you are looking for, we have a program that may help.
