We Create Opportunities for Candidates & Businesses
GuilfordWorks is one of twenty-three Workforce Development Boards located in North Carolina. We collaborate with a multitude of businesses, educational and training institutions, community agencies, as well as local, regional, and state government representatives to help individuals and employers gain access to free or low-cost programs and services that connect talent to jobs.
The GuilfordWorks Board is comprised of a group of community and business leaders appointed by local elected officials. We are locally staffed by individuals with years of experience in our specific local and regional economies
What We Do
Our work reaches adults seeking more meaningful careers, dislocated workers aiming to regain employment, and youth-focused on getting the right start in life. We are committed to excellence in service delivery and customer service by providing universal access to high-quality workforce information and services for all customers: the unemployed, underemployed, and currently employed workers, public and private employers, students and youth.
We work alongside employers from a broad range of industries that need workers with the training, skills and dedication to produce important products and services.
We coordinate the efforts of public and community resources to enhance North Carolina’s workforce capabilities. Guided by an integrated, regional approach, we are committed to innovation and forward-thinking.
