Dubuque Works

A Collaborative Approach to Workforce Development

Collaboration is key among workforce partners to successfully address the full scope of workforce challenges within a community. Greater Dubuque Development has taken workforce development strategy to the next level through a community-wide partnership called Dubuque Works. Partners work to analyze and revitalize existing workforce strategies, identify and address workforce gaps, and work together to seamlessly provide the strongest workforce solutions for companies that choose to make the Greater Dubuque area their home.

What does this mean for you?

By choosing the Greater Dubuque area for your next project or location and utilizing AccessDubuqueJobs.com, you'll gain access to thousands of potential employees through a website that is targeted, local and proven. This is just one way that Greater Dubuque Development supports new and existing businesses' efforts to recruit and retain a quality, talented workforce.

We also ensure those who choose Dubuque as a place to live, work, and play are not only welcomed into the community, but are equipped with the knowledge they need to make the most of their experience through our innovative Newcomers Program. This type of service has been proven to reduce employee turnover, specifically within the first 90 days of employment.

Each of the Dubuque Works partners has a specific role in this collaborative approach to workforce development. Contact each of them directly to learn more about their participation.
