Montgomery Works offers a variety of job-search tools and services at their two workforce centers. They feature the Maryland Workforce Exchange, an internet-based program with everything you need to find a better job or advance your career-24 hours a day, seven days a week. It’s a virtual one-stop network that connects you with workforce information, job leads, training opportunities, and a variety of programs and services to help you make the right choices for future success.

MontgomeryWorks mission is twofold: to help Montgomery County residents prepare to enter or re-enter the workforce, and meet the current-and future-workforce needs of local employers. Funded by federal and county workforce investment funds, MontgomeryWorks serves over 10,000 job seekers and employers each year at their workforce centers in Gaithersburg and Wheaton.
