The Greensboro-High Point-Guilford County Workforce Development Board (WDB), a public-private organization, assists businesses with all phases of the workforce—helping them locate, screen, select or train workers.

The WDB provides valuable tools, services and support—at little or no cost—to employers and job seekers. By leveraging many resources, the WDB consults with current or relocating businesses and economic developers to deliver customized workforce development solutions. More importantly, the WDB can help navigate a frequently complex network of education, government and private-sector resources to build a workforce that meets current and future needs, and boosts competitiveness and profitability. The value of the WDB’s services extends beyond any single company.

Creating a skilled and competitive workforce is vital to the Triad’s long-term economic health. By working to develop and continuously improve the workforce, the WDB helps ensure the success of all efforts to recruit and retain businesses in the region.
