Discover the Jonesboro Unlimited difference in how we approach Workforce Development. By creating intentional connections between our key industries, education, and the community, we continue cultivating our greatest natural resource: our people. Through establishing our Talent Attraction, Talent Development and Partnerships and Resources while maintaining relationships between existing employers and purpose-driven educators, we seek not only to maintain but to anticipate and develop a workforce that consistently surpasses the future needs of Jonesboro employers.
Combine our programs and the rich pool of talent produced by Arkansas State University (A-State), Arkansas State University-Newport (ASUN), and surrounding career and technical schools, Jonesboro can deliver the talent a company needs.
Furthermore, Craighead County is a certified ACT Workforce Ready Community (WRC) using the ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) to measure and certify foundational workplace skills. This process creates a data-driven approach to align workforce development with the needs of local businesses, providing a qualified talent pipeline to drive economic growth.
