A good workforce is the cornerstone of a strong economy, and New Hampshire has both. Known for their strong work ethic, today's employees also exhibit well-developed skills and innovation.
Various programs offer employers assistance with job training and recruitment.
WOC works in cooperation with the Department of Resources and Economic Development and other partners to promote lifelong learning and to provide the means for New Hampshire workers to gain sufficient skills, education, and employment.

There are various grants available to provide workers within companies with new job skills through the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. This Act provides states with the opportunity to streamline service delivery for a host of federal education, training and employment programs. It also provides more flexibility to define the focus and priorities of these programs so that they are customized to reflect the needs of the state and are responsive to employers and employees.
