As one of the integral departments within the Economic Development Agency, WDD strives to maximize the standard of living of all county residents through workforce development activities. The department’s success rests with its diverse and dedicated staff. WDD case managers have all completed a Career Counselors certificated program administered by Chaffey Community College in Rancho Cucamonga.

To meet these needs, staff has developed three programs which are currently being utilized to provide soft skills and job skills training.
