Niagara Workforce Coalition

Purpose

We’re enhancing our community’s workforce by promoting collaboration, innovation and resource-sharing.

Employers and employer-serving organizations play a crucial role in shaping the coalition’s initiatives, sharing valuable insights into industry needs and hiring trends. Education organizations develop the talent pipeline and support students to graduate with the skills to succeed in the job market. Employment services and other non-profit organizations provide information and essential support for job seekers, such as training and career counseling.

Launched in November 2023, the Niagara Workforce Coalition brings together interested parties to build connections, integrate workforce planning, and address workforce challenges.
