On May 8, 2024, WorkSource Montgomery (WSM) was honored to host the Embassy of Japan at our Wheaton American Job Center (AJC) along with a few of our Montgomery County Workforce Development Board Members, Maryland Department of Labor staff, and the County Executive’s Office.
WSM’s Executive Director, Anthony Featherstone, shared our concepts of ‘no wrong door’ for job seekers, integrated case management and support, local partnerships, and flexible place-based approaches to meet local skill shortages. After the roundtable discussion, we gave our distinguished guests a tour of the Wheaton AJC and they got a chance to come aboard our state of the art Mobile Job Center to check out all that it offers to local residents, including our new ILA translation device.
It was amazing to learn about the challenges we face serving our local residents and how our approaches to workforce development intersect!
