Growing a Dynamic Workforce
EWIB, based out of Franklin, CT, is a non-profit agency that oversees a network of workforce-related programs, including the operation of the region’s American Job Centers. Together, the Chamber and EWIB have a shared goal of growing eastern CT’s economy through workforce-related programs.
No single organization alone can solve the complex workforce and economic issues facing our region. However, by working together, partners in our region are making meaningful progress as we grow our most important asset: our dynamic workforce.
