WORKFORCE AND TALENT DEVELOPMENT
The Workforce and Talent
Development (WTD)
Program has been
instrumental in building
employer champions and
preparing jobseekers for
the pace of industry by
developing an effective
workforce pipeline.
WTD PROGRAM
In less than a year the WTD Program has:
• Assisted over 150 companies recruit for 70 positions in a
variety of growing industries
• Leveraged over half a million dollars in federal and state
funds
• Developed 4 customized trainings in Hybrid car
CUSTOMIZED TRAINING PROGRAM
In addressing the increasing skill gaps, the WTD
program also:
• Assists businesses in developing customized
workforce trainings to bridge those gaps.
• Helped Hybrid Technicians develop the first
Hybrid Electric Vehicle Training Program in
Sonoma County.
• Provided 96 hours of professional hybrid car
training in order to keep up with evolving
technology and ensure repair technicians
stay competitive in the automotive industry.
ON THE JOB TRAINING
In partnership with the WIB
and Sonoma County Job
Link, the WTD program has
successfully deployed an
“On the Job Training”
program. This program
allows for Sonoma County
employers to receive
subsidies for the costs
associated with hiring and
training new employees.
TEAM WORKFORCE
The WTD Program also convened a special
group of leaders from the community called
“Team Workforce” to ensure that funds were
given maximum leverage, and to ensure there
weren’t overlaps in workforce and employer
WORKFORCE RESOURCE GUIDE
The EDB developed a workforce resource
guide for employers, educating them about
the funds available to them and highlighting
best practices surrounding successful hires.
JOB MARKET TRACKER
The Job Market Tracker Report:
• Provides a monthly analysis of real time
job postings from over 25,000 listings
• Identifies hiring trends in key industries
• Empowers the community to make well-
informed decisions, facilitating strategic
efforts that closely align with the dynamics
of the local labor market.
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT SURVEY
The Annual Workforce
Survey was developed
to gather feedback from
Human Resource
Directors on the current
workforce needs, and
provide insights and
resources into how to
close the skills gap.
