THANK YOU!

WorkSource Montgomery (WSM) would like to thank all of the community-based organizations who participated and contributed to our Community Asset Project!

Our goal was to develop a digital resource that serves as a regional adult services community asset map. In order to do that, we wanted to capitalize on the existing resources already available within the county. The adage “it takes a village” certainly applied to this great effort!

With support and input from our workforce ecosystem partners, we identified and confirmed 111 organizations and 293 adult services across Montgomery County, MD — and are proud to announce the map is complete and available as a valuable resource for all our partners and customers!

“The first step to truly building an integrated workforce system is to identify the components of the system. To this end, the Community Asset Map is a huge step forward in this process. From here, we look to build on the identified service strengths, and seek means to enhance service areas where the demand (for services) exceeds the supply (of services).” — Anthony Featherstone, Executive Director of WorkSource Montgomery.
