The Weld County Workforce Development Board and Employment Services will continue to
implement and revise the following marketing strategies to increase employer relations and
applicant services over the next 5 years.

educational marketing campaign designed to increase the number of presentations to
employers and community groups, and improve brand awareness through the use of
media displays and promotional materials.

to respond to those job orders, and how we are recruiting customers for programs to
increase the utilization of services.
(c). Increase the number of opportunities to publicize the system through the use of news
releases that inform the community about special programs. Promote special recognition
awards and events that recognize staff and program accomplishments, as well as
recognizing successful and satisfied customers.

determining program effectiveness. Utilize information form surveys to identify areas that
can benefit from improved marketing efforts and program design.
