Here we slow it down, dig in and bring in the people doing the work, and we explain not just what the County is doing, but why it matters.Because government should be clear. This is your County. And this is Westchester, Explained. In this episode, we take a closer look at the Westchester Putnam Workforce Development Board and the free resources available to help residents find meaningful employment, gain new skills and build lasting careers. We explore how the organization connects job seekers with employers, provides career counseling, resume support and training opportunities. As well as how it's preparing today's workforce for tomorrow's economy through growing industries like clean energy. We also discuss how these services are helping to overcome barriers to employment for Veterans, individuals with disabilities, residents looking to change careers and others -- while meeting the evolving needs of businesses across Westchester and Putnam.
