		Phoenix Workforce connection Board Recruits Members from Targeted Industries

		Workforce Connection

The 2006-07 program years for the Phoenix Workforce Connection (PWC) Board have begun. A primary role of the board is to increase the involvement of the business community in the development of a well trained labor force ensuring that the workforce system prepares people for current and future jobs. A strong workforce builds a stable economy and community. The mission of the board is to provide workforce solutions to businesses and individuals. Great effort is being made to focus on meeting the needs of businesses.

The new chair for the year is Mr. Joseph (Joe) Tuerff from Manpower. Joe has been a Board member for the past three years and shares a passion for helping people get jobs and improve their skills.

The Community and Economic Development Department is currently recruiting new Board members in targeted industry clusters to fill business positions on the PWC Board. The targeted industry clusters are healthcare/bioscience, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, information technology, and advanced business services. The ideal board candidate will hold a position that exercises ultimate decision making authority within an organization and be able to serve as an active board member and be an advocate for workforce services within the community.

If you, or someone you know meet these requirements and is interested in finding out more about the PWC Board, please have them contact Cynthia Spell, Deputy Director, Workforce Connection Division, at (602) 262-6776.
