The Fresno Regional Workforce Development system is a Joint Powers Authority between the City and County of Fresno, in partnership with both the public and private sectors and exists, primarily, to assist local businesses in meeting their human capital needs. In this, we both (1) screen and train prospective new employees and (2) assist in upskilling existing employees. By offering such quality referral and training services, directly linked to local industry needs, we are of greatest benefit to our unemployed and underemployed clients.
