Investing in Tomorrow’s Workforce Today

"Tomorrow’s economic success will, in part, be measured by the investment that we make today to prepare young people to compete in the 21st Century Workforce." Jan Vogel, Executive Director , SBWIB

In today’s market, it takes a lot to keep a competitive edge. Whether small or large, your company needs a qualified, educated workforce—literate employees who think on their feet, solve problems creatively, and know how to stay on top of the technology wave. The new economy depends on well-trained individuals who know how to use their knowledge.

You can play a vital role in building our future workforce. With little effort, you can work with educators and community organizations to help our youth become competent adults and business leaders—an investment that doubles on its return.

Employers in every industry can provide a variety of workplace learning opportunities to teachers and students. Past partners have helped design curricula, provided classroom speakers, gave company tours and job shadows, offered industry panelists and participated in Blueprint Internships.

The South Bay One Stop Business & Career Centers Youth Programs can save you time and money by connecting your business to students in a variety of school and community programs. Sign up online or call our Program Representative at (310) 219-2624.
