CHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia has entered a partnership with the online platform Jobcase to attract more companies and workers to the state.
State officials announced the partnership Tuesday, with Jobcase set to host an online hiring event Thursday.
“West Virginia has some of the best jobs, the best workers, and the best companies in the country, and with Jobcase’s help we are going to connect thousands of people to the great opportunities in West Virginia,” Gov. Jim Justice said.
“These efforts will help West Virginia retain workers, expand our employment base, and bring more people and businesses into our great state for years to come. West Virginia is the best place to live and work and we are going to keep telling our story and bringing more people here.”
According to the governor’s office, the partnership will focus on promoting local and corporate jobs and connecting job seekers with West Virginia companies. The campaign includes an online “resource center,” which features a guide and insight on jobs and training opportunities.
“With a business-friendly environment, skilled workers, training partnerships, and employers looking to hire, West Virginia provides strong support for jobseekers and companies,” state Commerce Secretary Ed Gaunch said.
He added: “Our upcoming March 4th online hiring event shows that West Virginia can meet the challenges in this moment and support our workers and employers.”
