The Planning Commission’s Workforce Development programs address the needs of area employers and workers. Services are provided by staff at eight Workforce Solutions offices located around the region and a dedicated website. Their purpose is to help Panhandle employers recruit, hire and retain qualified workers. They also provide job seekers with the information, training and assistance they need to obtain and keep employment that offers good wages and benefits, and enhances their ability to support their families.
The above efforts are overseen by a 25-member board of business and community leaders, and a group of seven local elected officials. Over $16 million in annual funding for these programs comes to the Planning Commission from the Texas Workforce Commission, Texas Veterans Commission, and local governments.
