The Workforce Development Office is a unit of the Madera County Office of Education as well as a partner and the operator of the One-Stop Center.  One-Stop Centers were created by a Federal law called the Workforce Investment Act to make it easier for people to find the services they need to help them find jobs, education, and training in their local community.  The Workforce Assistance Center includes several different agencies – all in one building – so customers can get services in one place.  For a list of all the agencies and services at the Center, please visit our Partner Agencies page. 

The Madera County Workforce Development Office operates programs for both adults and youth who need help finding a good job.  We provide a variety of services for the people living in Madera County who are interested in finding work, going to school and/or training or improving their skills to move up in their workplace.

The Madera County Workforce Development Office also provides services to local employers.  We will recruit and take applications for local companies, screen the applicants, and schedule interviews at our office or at the company.  Customized training, tax credits, and other financial incentives may also be available.
