An important and popular service of The WorkSource is labor market information (LMI). The WorkSource LMI provides useful and up-to-date economic facts and figures for:

• Regional employment estimates and wages
• Monthly employment estimates for metropolitan areas

The WorkSource recognizes that not all area employers have the same human resource needs. Because workforce challenges vary from employer to employer, we can customize our business services for any company. Our consultants work as advocates for you.

Our customized services include:
• Recruiting, screening, testing and referring of qualified applicants to fit specific company jobs
• Recruiting from other sources when there are no qualified candidates registered at The WorkSource or on WorkInTexas.com.
• Skills, aptitude and interest testing of employees when job requirements change
• Specially-arranged training and development classes, workshops or seminars (such as job-specific training, diversity training, or adult basic education classes) for current or new employees
• Employee training online, on-site, or in a classroom of a local community college
• Employer hiring events at career offices or special job fairs for mass hires
• Brokered services for employers that need to find consultants for specialized services, such as task analysis and job redesign

Most customized services are provided at no cost, but some training and development services may require a nominal fee.

Employers turn to The WorkSource when they are faced with restructuring their companies — before, during and after a decision has been made to reduce the labor force, merge with another company or close a plant, office or store location. Our outplacement services provide short-term, early intervention and immediate assistance for layoffs large or small.

Industry services are any combination of basic and customized services for companies in the same industry sector. The WorkSource offers these services to large, fast-growing industries vital to the local economy and the overall prosperity of the region.
Industries are identified by their rapid growth, as well as by verifiable current or projected labor shortages in high-skill, high-wage occupations — such as business services, health services, special trade contractors, engineering and management services, education and communications.  

The WorkSource works with area employers, business organizations, educational institutions and community leaders to address current and future labor shortages by finding intermediate and long-term solutions.
