Many job seekers
experience temporary or permanent barriers that affect their ability
to obtain, retain and progress in work settings that lead to economic
self-sufficiency. Recognizing these challenges, the WDC emphasizes
systems improvements that increase (1) the ability of the local
employment and training system to address a diversity of individual
needs; and (2) specific, focused services to individuals who would
benefit from customized services. In its efforts to lower individual
barriers to employment, the WDC takes a specific leadership role
in services to refugees and immigrants, populations with limited
English proficiency and persons with disabilities.
