Human Resources Development PDF Print E-mail

CEI's workforce development team has over 120 years of combined experience in human resources and project management, workforce development, and social welfare policy development. It plays a leadership role in collaborative initiatives, forging partnerships between businesses and a network of workforce and economic development and social service agencies.  The team utilizes its broad range of knowledge of federal and state-funded workforce development programs, its in-depth experience working with hard to serve populations, and its network of partners to develop skills training programs and training resources that meet both business and job seeker needs. It assembles services for businesses that strengthen their operations, while at the same time providing support to workers,with the goal of creating healthier workplaces.

A principal goal of the ETAG is to provide human resources support that helps sustain/develop healthy workplaces for all employees, not just those who are low-income. Such workplaces depend on progressive personnel policies, livable wages, and retention strategies that balance work and home life and promote job advancement.  CEI staff provide assistance with tax credits, training applications, participation in employee savings and asset-building programs, creation of personnel polices and job descriptions.
