The inaugural Enterprise Nexus event was a success! Hosted by our WorkSource Seattle-King County One-Stop Operator Team — Niecko Glover, Harpreet Marwah, and Karel M. Cleveland — in partnership with Jay Lyman from The Seattle Public Library, this groundbreaking event brought together over 45 small businesses and 20 partner organizations for a day of learning, connection, and empowerment.

The WDC has launched Sound Jobs, a new initiative dedicated to strengthening economic mobility and worker well-being in the hospitality sector, backed by a $3 million Critical Sectors Job Quality Grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. This investment supports a coalition of labor unions, workforce organizations, and employers to enhance workplace practices and career pathways for hospitality workers across the region.
