Workforce Development Program Description New legislation in Texas has consolidated many activities relating to employment, job training, and job seeking under the Texas Workforce Commission . The Commission provides funding through the Alamo Area Workforce Development Board, a volunteer board of area business and community representatives. The Workforce Centers and satellite offices are designed to be user-friendly with the latest innovative employment resources. Everyone is welcome to use the facilities with a goal of finding a job or finding employees.
Professional staff is trained to assist both the job seeker and the employer in meeting their needs.
Employment Resource Area Services available to any person walking into the Center include the use of computers and the Internet. Job seekers and employers can access Job banks such as Job Express, America s Job Bank, HIRE Texas, Monsterboard, and others.
