Through the American Job Center network, CWP invests in youth development, develops sustainable career pathways for adult workers and assists employers, all with a focus on our sector initiatives: manufacturing, healthcare, and construction. Through labor market information studies, we project thousands of new openings over the next few years in manufacturing due to economic growth and an aging workforce.
