WIB Mission Statement

To develop, through public/private partnerships, a quality workforce, which successfully meets employers’ hiring needs and ensures the employment and advancement of jobseekers.

Mercer County’s Workforce Investment Board (WIB), formerly the Private Industry Council (PIC), is playing a major role in shaping tomorrow’s workforce. The MCWIB was the fourth to be certified in New Jersey. Through a dynamic public and private partnership, the WIB is helping to develop, maintain, and implement a quality workforce, which is consumer-based and labor-market driven.

Over fifty of the County’s most prominent leaders, including CEO’s, presidents, and directors, have been appointed by the County Executive to offer their professional insight and to assist in creating a strong workforce for Mercer County. 51% of the WIB members represent the private sector, while the remainder include labor, community organizations, educational institutions, engineering and law firms, hospitals and government agencies.

Mercer County’s WIB has numerous responsibilities – however, the most important is accessing the labor market and helping job seekers and employers meet their needs. To accomplish this, the WIB will provide coordination, guidance and oversight for all workforce readiness programs in Mercer County and efficiently make use of state and federal resources.

National Take Your Child to Work Day at ABS

Our Director of Accounting, Heidi Gelentser, brought her two delightful nieces to the office to “intern” for the day. Tiffany Gelentser, 13, and Danielle Groff, 12, were a joy to work with and a great help.

 

Danielle wrote the following about her day at ABS:

 

I really enjoyed interning at Association Business Solutions, Inc. I helped mail new business cards to Board Members. I also helped make labels. I enjoyed being able to sit at a desk and help my Aunt Heidi who works here. My cousin Tiffany and I helped my Aunt get coffee for everyone. I got the chance to use a copy machine. I also got the chance to work and help many people do their job. I am glad I spent my day at ABS. I am also glad that I got the chance to see what being a worker at ABS would be like. That is what I have to say about my day interning at Association Business Solutions, Inc.

ABS supports career exploration and mentoring for youth. Inspiring young minds to realize their futures are filled with endless opportunities.
