This is a step by step guide that describes the workforce development system and how businesses can benefit from using it. The ins and outs of the system and its processes, procedures, language and performance expectations are demystified.

If you've ever needed a competent worker with specific skills and couldn't find one this book is for you. You have to hire people anyway. You can try a worker out in a subsidized On-the-job training position before making a commitment. Or why not take advantage of the opportunities for free labor that comes with internships? This book can show you how. After all you've already invested in these programs with your tax dollars.

And don't think these tax supported programs only serve the unskilled and unemployed. Engineers, accountants, administrators and programmers mingle with laborers and fast food workers in programs that serve job seekers. People receive a variety of services regardless of income or job status. The Department of Labor office down the street can turn out to be your field of diamonds if you know what to look for.
