Evaluating Employer Suitability (DCEO)

  • Rather than determining whether an employer meets certain suitability criteria, DCEO focuses on making workforce services accessible. DCEO understands that employers have different needs, and some services may align better than others. The goal is to identify which services are most appropriate for the employer, and to provide targeted support that helps them access those resources effectively.
  • DCEO seeks to promote sustainable opportunities that offer living wages. To accomplish this, the team encourages employers to examine factors like wages and other benefits that can help them attract and retain top talent.
