Heartland Workforce Solutions

Welcome to the Heartland Workforce Solutions website! This site has been designed to be a user-friendly source of connectivity for both job seekers and employers. Finding employment and finding employees has become a complicated process. Our goal is to make the process more accessible by providing a pipeline to the support, information and resources that can help workers, businesses and organizations succeed.

The public and private sector partners that comprise Heartland Workforce Solutions are focused on the development of a ready workforce pool that will assist companies in Douglas, Sarpy and Washington counties to remain viable. Our website is just one way in which we strive to live up to the promise inherent in our name.

  

Job Seekers - How it works for you

The agencies, representatives and resources that make up Heartland Workforce Solutions are featured in the drop down menu of this website. And all are focused on one thing—getting you connected to the jobs, assistance and/or services you need to succeed.

Maybe you’re in search of your first job or one that matches your degree and experience level. Maybe you could get the position you want with some specialized training, certification or more educational opportunities. Perhaps computer skills, resume and cover letter writing will make a difference. Or, you need temporary assistance to tide you over until your regular paychecks begin.

Click here for the numbers and addresses of the Workforce Solutions Centers. Even if you’re not sure how to begin, you’ll be able to talk to any of the representatives at any of those locations and they’ll direct you to the personnel, programs or services that will work best for you.
