WHAT WE DO
The Clinton County Workforce Collaborative (CCWC) collaboratively tackles the critical and multi-faceted issues surrounding workforce development, retention, and recruitment in Clinton County and our surrounding region through:
- Bringing employers and service providers together to explore cooperative solutions to the challenges of workforce mobility, childcare, housing, broadband accessibility, and more.
- Identifying pathways for professional growth, including skill-building and career readiness initiatives that meet workforce demands.
- Working to foster meaningful workforce-related collaboration between local schools and businesses, non-profits, and community organizations.
The CCWC is an initiative of the Clinton County Port Authority, OhioMeansJobs Clinton County, the Southern Ohio Educational Service Center, and the Wilmington-Clinton County Chamber of Commerce, and is open to anyone in the business, education, non-profit, government, and economic/community development sectors.
The CCWC is an extension of the Clinton County Business Advisory Council (BAC), under the umbrella of the Southern Ohio Educational Service Center. The work of the Clinton County BAC is guided by the Clinton County Business Advisory Council Plan, which is submitted to the Ohio Department of Education annually. As a result of the work of the CCWC, the Clinton County BAC was named a 3-Star Business Council in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
