Everyone in our community has the opportunity to earn a family sustaining wage and every business has the opportunity to grow. Our region embraces a culture of education and life-long learning. The SouthCoast is nationally known as a destination region, and New Bedford as a destination city.


Mission Statement

Create opportunities that give people access to a continuum of programs and services designed to develop their competencies, employment skills, and education, enabling them to support themselves and their families and improve their quality of life, and to ensure that employers have access to a skilled and educated workforce.
