Workforce Training
Connecting You to Living Wage Jobs
You can reach your economic goals with the right support and Workforce Training. In Washington County, a family of four needs at least $65,000 a year to cover basic needs, but the median wage is just $35,000.
A better-paying job can help close this gap. Career Boost connects you with career opportunities that lead to living wages, helping you take an important step toward self-sufficiency.
