Welcome to Worlds of Work.

Worlds of Work creates awareness about exciting career options among students and educators while addressing workforce needs in the region.
Existing employers in the region continue to have unfilled job openings due to a shortage of skilled workers. WOW helps companies find potential workers and students find paths to success.
