MontcoWorks NOW is a countywide initiative to connect opportunity youth and young adults with the emerging workforce needs of employers like you. We would like to discuss a partnership to assist with your hiring needs, inform you of tax credit benefts that can save your business money, and together build a next generation workforce. MontcoWorks NOW delivers Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) programming to “opportunity youth and young adults,” between the ages of 14-24, who reside in Montgomery County and are presented with a significant barrier to completing or advancing in education or obtaining employment. We support young job seekers with the job coaching, skill training, and employment services to complement employers’ pressing needs. MontcoWorks NOW recognizes how time consuming and demanding finding good employees can be, which is why we would like to offer our services to you by matching our skilled participants to your hiring needs.
