Through the influence of committed private and public sector leadership, a high performance, quality workforce development system is being developed to meet the human resource needs of the competitive global economy that increasingly demands highly skilled workers. The Chamber supports and promotes the work of its members through a comprehensive program of advocacy, technical assistance, and communications activities. Services are designed to help advance the public-private model among key policy makers, secure the role of the business sector in workforce development, enhance members' capacity and effectiveness, and learn from networking opportunities with the region's job training community.

The Berkshire County Regional Employment Board, Inc. connects companies to an array of education and training opportunities, distributes local labor market information, and encourages partnerships between education and industry. The goal is to be a the clearinghouse of timely and effective workforce development services - linking community, economy and Berkshire County's best asset - its people - as we enter the 21st century.
