The field of advanced technology in manufacturing, healthcare, construction and information technology is booming in the Shenandoah Valley. Unfortunately, there is a growing shortage of skilled employees in these industries. The WIB-sponsored 21st Century Workforce Transitions Project has partnered with the Virginia Manufacturers Association to bring the Dream It. Do It. Virginia campaign to the Valley. The first step is a recently launched website for Dream It. Do It. Shenandoah Valley.
Welcome to valleyworkforce.com
The central Shenandoah Valley is home to progressive employers and career opportunities. Our scenic geography, communities rich in quality of life, exceptional educational institutions, moderate cost of living, and climate with four distinct seasons makes us good neighbors, friends, and co-workers with a strong value for community, work, and family.
This site is a resource for job seekers, employers, and service providers of the central Shenandoah Valley.
Job seekers can use the Virginia Workforce Connection which offers several options for a self-directed job search in specific Virginia cities and counties, a national job search by state, Military Specialty, government jobs, and other national sites for jobs and employment information. Job seekers may also search for employment using the online classified sections of local Valley newspapers.
Employers may post job orders to the VEC's job order database.
The Virginia Workforce Network in the central Shenandoah Valley is sponsored by the Shenandoah Valley Workforce Investment Board. Our Board members include area businesses, service agencies, and training providers working together to provide integrated, user-friendly, and responsive services to our community of employers, workers, and job seekers.
Program Auxiliary Aids and Services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities
