Workforce

Norwalk’s population and its surrounding communities’ populations provide
a highly educated and diverse workforce.

With a variety of housing options for all income levels and with the support of pipeline programs through Norwalk Public Schools and Norwalk Community College, the City of Norwalk provides a unique opportunity to craft new workforce pools from the
ground up at all skill levels. Norwalk has successfully done this with multiple businesses including IBM and
Nuvance Health so why not your business?

P-TECH students have access to a great support system, with the help of counselors, teachers, IBM mentors, and like-minded classmates. These professional mentors allow students to interact with like-minded adults working in a particular field and to learn about the modern workforce. Along with encouraging student interests, mentors also help students understand what they want to do after college.
