Learn about working at The Force

Workforce Solutions Borderplex is one of 28 public workforce development boards in Texas. In the 6 counties in Far West Texas, we are THE agency that supports the workforce (workers). We serve a big area, so we have a big job.

We are a hybrid organization - a non-profit and also a government organization. Fuse the two together and we end up being an "opportunity incubator" that matches and nurtures people with opportunities. We're proven too. Ask our award wall and it will show you!

WSB is all about community. What we do is so important which is why we don't do it alone. We work with external partners that help us extend our reach beyond our offices. We go where the people and businesses are. Literally. We will meet them and make the magic happen at their place, on their schedule, on their terms.

WSB exhibits a growth mindset. We seek individuals who buy into this mission and lead by example by being good stewards of our funds, work efficiently to stretch every dollar, and support the team as we all lift the community. We show our values by being transparent, innovative, accountable, research-driven (we love data), honest, collaborative, empathetic, and ultimately working towards making a positive impact.

We seek big thinkers and big doers!
