SHARE Network available in Haywood County

An exciting new program is coming to our area! The Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development is proud to announce Sharing How Access to Resources Empowers (SHARE) Network, a program that will help expand access to workforce development services. Through the SHARE Network, job seekers and their families will discover a wide range of excellent support services offered by faith and community-based organizations, government agencies and non-profit organizations.

Tennessee is one of nine states partnering with the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) to bring this program to Tennesseans. Since the faith-based and community initiatives began in 2001, the USDOL has developed programs to help One-Stop career centers partner with faith-based and community organizations (FBCOs) to help Americans in need.

SHARE Network Tennessee is designed to improve the effectiveness of the job search system by building bridges between faith-based and community organizations. The program consists of two distinct parts: an online resource directory and access points. The online directory will consist of various service providers, including workforce development system partners, faith-based organizations, businesses and government agencies. The access points located at faith-based or community-based organization locations will provide core services ad referrals to clients.

Stanton Health Center, 731-548-2232, and TN Career Center – Brownsville, 731-772-3490, are Haywood County agencies who will offer services through this program.
