What is workforce development?

Eckerd Connects’ Workforce Development training is provided at programs that are funded through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). They include Title I programs serving youth, young adults, adults, and dislocated workers who meet WIOA eligibility requirements. Eckerd Connects has enhanced workforce development best practices through mergers with both Paxen and the Henkels & McCoy Training Services Group, gaining over 35 years of valuable experience and aligning  effective services across a broad national program array that includes:

  • Career exploration
  • Work readiness training
  • Credentialing
  • Paid Work Experiences
  • Adult Education
  • Job placement
  • Career Pathways

Through our Eckerd Connects WIOA programs we form a strong network of relationships with local businesses and employers, allowing us to match our participants with jobs based on the needs of each community.
