Benefits

Today’s changing workplace has resulted in new business challenges, one being a shortage of skilled technical personnel.  Our approach to this challenge—Linked Workforce—brings geographically distant workers and employers together through a subcontracting arrangement.  This allows off site technology experts and onsite professionals to work seamlessly without the burden and expense of travel or relocation.  The results are a strong,    well-trained, and responsive workforce; increased productivity; and lower costs for the customer.  The companies accepting outsourced work have extensive experience in the industry and identify resources that are:

·        Skilled.  They offer workers that have current, in-demand technology skills to ensure that the Linked Workforce stays on the leading edge

·        Flexible.  These companies understand the value of customer service and can commit to variable length work assignments.

·        Available.  IT workers are ready to work immediately, and are available year round.  

This workforce development initiative will support economic growth across the Commonwealth.
