Workforce Collaborative


The Clinton County Workforce Collaborative (CCWC) collaboratively tackles the critical and multi-faceted issues surrounding workforce development, retention, and recruitment in Clinton County and our surrounding region. The CCWC is comprised of business, education, non-profit, government, and economic/community development partners, and is open to anyone from these sectors who would like to become more involved in collaborative solutions to current workforce challenges.

The CCWC currently has three working groups – School/Community Connections, Education/Training, and Barriers to Work – in which members can become directly involved with identifying top workforce challenges and prioritizing and implementing next steps/projects.


MEETING SCHEDULE: All meetings are 9 to 10:30 a.m. at the Southern Ohio Educational Service Center (3321 Airborne Road, Wilmington). Our meetings are open to anyone who would like to become more involved in collaborative solutions to current workforce challenges.

SCHOOL & COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS RESOURCE GUIDE

The CCWC collected the information in the School and Community Connections Resource Guide from local businesses, organizations, and schools to better connect all of these entities, and to more comprehensively address workforce needs and solutions throughout our community.

This Guide is intended to make it easier for employers, local schools, and community agencies to identify and expand workforce development opportunities for youth and adults in our community. 

This Guide is a working document that will be updated regularly as contacts, interests, and availability changes. If you would like to have your company’s information included in the Guide, please complete the EMPLOYER SURVEY or SCHOOL SURVEY as appropriate if you haven’t already done so
