Baltimore County Office of Workforce Development This year we will continue to feel the affects of the slumping global economy, and many of our local businesses are in uncharted waters. Some companies have to DOWNSIZE considerably, or even close. Other companies are EXPANDING and still continue to have labor shortages. And still others, to remain competitive due to increased demand and technological advances, need to RETRAIN their workforce. In an effort to channel the synergies of these shifting workforce dynamics, BCOWD's Business Services Team is initiating the "Transitioning Talent Pipeline"... A communication forum to encourage an on-going dialogue to effectively connect every area of the workforce spectrum. Regardless of where your organization fits in the Transitioning Talent Pipeline, contact the Business Services Unit to receive assistance with your workforce needs: Outplacement Assistance, Recruitment Assistance, Training Funding Assistance The Business Services Team at BCOWD works with small and large companies in a variety of ways to help employers take advantage of the talent pools developed within through this pipeline to support and maintain a competitive Baltimore County workforce.
