The Upstate Workforce Boards mission is to build and maintain a workforce development system that meets the needs of employers in Cherokee, Spartanburg and Union County. Our vision is to create and oversee a continuously improving workforce development system that encompasses all necessary resources for the citizens of our region to obtain employment at a livable wage. We also want to ensure employers that they have a work ready pool of applicants and a point of contact to obtain other employer related services. We also promotes youth development in education, training and employment. The Upstate Workforce Board strives for excellence in workforce and community development.
