OUR IMPACT
Helping People Find Meaningful, Sustainable Employment
At the heart of our mission is a simple truth — when people find work that is meaningful and sustainable, entire communities flourish. Since 1978, we have been a trusted partner for job seekers, organizations, businesses, community leaders, and policy makers. We know that employment is more than a paycheck — it’s a foundation for dignity, stability, and growth. That’s why we continue to stand alongside those we serve, building pathways to opportunity and ensuring that success leads to more success.

Making a Difference
“I wanted to thank you for being so instrumental in helping me get to where I am today. I owe so much to you and the gang down at Worklink. Even though I have no military background it didn’t seem to matter. Everywhere I have worked for the Corps of Commissionaires, everybody has been so welcoming, patient and excepting of me every step of the way. I wanted to share with you all how some banged up semi-retired guy can still make a difference out there.”
