Working in Collaboration with local and regional employers and educators to build a strong, vibrant and successful workforce.
While Clewiston has a rich heritage, we face significant economic challenges. The unemployment rate remains higher than the state average, and the retirement of baby boomers has created workforce gaps across industries.
The pandemic further disrupted our local economy, leaving many families struggling to find stable employment and access to essential resources.
Limited access to job training, educational resources, and support services has created barriers for those seeking to build better lives. Our response is rooted in our community’s commitment to Faith, Family, and Friends.
The Joseph Project 863 addresses these challenges through practical, faith-based initiatives that create lasting change in our community.
