We will achieve this mission with the following actions:

• Solicit feedback from the business community on its workforce needs.

• Educate businesses on the workforce system's improved services.

•  Promote, target, and clarify incentive, grant, training, placement, and transportation programs available to businesses who hire our residents.

• Identify and help remove systemic barriers to employment and job creation.

• Analyze labor demand statistics to anticipate growth and influence economic development policy.

Our most important metric to gauge success: lower Newark and Essex unemployment rate so it is at or below the state average
