Creating pathways to economic prosperity!

Did you know that many of our neighbors are working two to three part-time jobs, and are still struggling to make ends meet? In 2017, the median household income here in Berkshire County was just over $55,000.

The Economic Prosperity Impact Council (EPIC), comprised of nearly 40 members from businesses and organizations throughout the county, is committed to placing people in vacant, full-time jobs and addressing the hiring and retention needs of local businesses.

Our goal is to reduce the number and percentage of households earning less than $75,000. 

To support these efforts, the MassHire Berkshire Workforce Board is hosting a series of monthly job seeker meet-ups in North Adams, Pittsfield and Great Barrington!

The theme of this month’s event is, “Networking & Navigating the Hidden Job Market.” For information on future events, please join us on Facebook. In the meantime, if you or someone you know is currently looking for local employment opportunities, we’ve created this list of job search engines for you to use.
