The  Job Training Program plans and develops programs and administers contracts under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA).  The department provides administrative services to the partnership of Clallam, Jefferson and Kitsap Counties.  The Olympic Consortium Board and the Olympic Workforce Development Council share joint responsibility for policy and oversight of the consortium.

Program services include:

• job search help
• career skills assessment
• reading and math skills upgrading
• job placement assistance

Services are provided to over 700 economically disadvantaged teens and adults and dislocated workers each year in Kitsap County.

The program, which is entirely federally funded, administers approximately $2,000,000 under grant agreements from the state.

In addition to the above job services, Kitsap County residents who are age 55 and over may be eligible for the Title V Senior Employment Program. This program provides part-time paid community service training opportunities to older workers who are in economic and social need. Title V fosters individual economic self-sufficiency through subsidized training and subsequent placement into unsubsidized jobs.

Kitsap Aging and Long Term Care currently contracts with WorkSource of Kitsap County to provide senior employment services. For more information please call (360) 337-4756.
