New ways of thinking and doing
We re-branded in the fall of 2022, from Niagara Workforce Planning Board to Workforce Collective.
After decades of analyzing labour market dynamics, listening to employers and working within different employment systems, we’re more committed than ever to community-based approaches that address the complex workforce issues we’re all navigating.
Everything we do happens in partnership. We collaborate with service delivery organizations and employers who are leading workforce-related solutions. We add value to those efforts through data collection and analysis, grant writing, project design and/or evaluation, impact assessment, and more. Let’s work together →
