Workforce Windsor-Essex is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
The local organization, which acts as a workforce planning and development board, held an open house Friday afternoon at its office on North Service Rd.
Executive Director Michelle Suchiu says the organization enjoys working with its partners.
"When new employers come to our region, when employers leave our region, when new training comes to mind, we are at that table and we're part of those conversations," says Suchiu.
She says Workforce Windsor-Essex is a non-profit organization.
"We are a workforce planning board and there's 26 across Ontario," says Suchiu. "We are contract based work. So everything we do and every employee who's part of our organization is brought in based on their skills and the contract that we receive."
Suchiu says the organization continues to grow.
"We are looking at what do employers need and listening to them," says Suchiu. "We're hearing what is education and training doing and how can they meet those employers needs when it comes to workforce development. What are the skills of the workforce that they need and how can we ramp up the workforce skills of the current people in our community."
Suchiu adds when the organization first started there were just two employees.
She says currently, with interns, there are roughly 16 working in the office.
