The Central Workforce Development Region and C&S Employment Solutions are pleased to announce a strategic partnership aimed at maximizing workforce opportunities in the central Missouri area. This collaboration brings together the expertise of C&S, a leading employment service, and the Central Workforce Region, which oversees public workforce development services in Central Missouri, to enhance worker availability for businesses and connect job seekers to viable career options.
The Central Workforce Development Region’s mission is to strengthen communities through workforce development efforts, and this partnership with C&S Employment Solutions aligns perfectly with that goal.
