Workforce Solutions

Workforce Solutions Lower Rio Grande was honored to welcome approximately 60 college-bound students participating in the VAMOS program. Our Business and Relations Manager shared information about the many no-cost workforce services and resources available to help students as they pursue higher education and prepare for successful careers.

From career exploration and job search assistance to workforce training opportunities and employer connections, we're committed to helping students turn their educational goals into lifelong career success. Thank you to the Valley Alliance of Mentors for Opportunities and Scholarships - VAMOS organization for allowing us to be part of these students' journey. We look forward to seeing all they accomplish!

Investing in our team means investing in the communities we serve.💪

During our recent Staff Development Day, the Workforce Solutions Lower Rio Grande team strengthened the skills that help us better support our customers every day. Through interactive training, staff focused on enhancing communication strategies, sharpening critical thinking skills to tackle daily challenges, and effective collaboration. 🤝

Continuous learning is at the heart of what we do, and we're proud to foster a culture of growth that empowers our team to better serve the workforce and employers of the Rio Grande Valley. 💡

Happy National Intern Day! 🎉
