The Capital Region Recruiters’ Network (CRRN) was founded in January 2000, to bring together recruiters and employment professionals to ensure the growth of business in the greater Capital Region. CRRN has instituted a mission statement and accompanying by-laws in order to formalize and expand the local network of recruiters. Because the economy and employment outlook for this region remain strong, this is a critical time for CRRN to emphasize the importance of attracting and hiring talent, and to provide an arena for employers to target these individuals.
The Capital Region Workforce Development Board (CRWDB) is the business-led entity serving Albany, Rensselaer, and Schenectady counties whose main focus is to conduct strategic planning, create policy, and provide oversight and accountability for workforce development activities in the Capital Region. The CRWDB strives to strengthen the skills of the Capital Region’s workforce through partnerships with business, education, and community-based organizations. The CRWDB also sponsors job training program services at the regional One Stop Career Centers (American Job Centers) in Albany, Rensselaer, and Schenectady counties for adult, dislocated workers, and youth. Programs are publicly funded through the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to provide individuals with job training, placement, and the tools to strengthen their skills to achieve a higher quality of life, and businesses with a skilled workforce through recruitment, retention, and incumbent worker training.
