Message from NDWD Department Manager

      On behalf of the Navajo Department of Workforce Development (NDWD), I extend a greeting to the Navajo people, residents of the Navajo Nation, employers, Navajo Nation programs, schools, and our partners that help implement employment and training services. This publication is provided for your information on our Window Rock Administration Office and local Workforce Centers and sub-offices on the Navajo Nation. Our department receives funding from the U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to serve eligible residents of the Navajo Nation with employment and training services. There are a variety of program services available for eligible youths and adults, including core services to assist job-ready individuals with job development, resume’ building and referral services.

History

Since 1973, The Navajo Nation has administered Federal and State grants for employment and training programs, assisting residents of the Navajo Nation in becoming self-sufficient. Navajo Department of Workforce Development, a Navajo Nation Administrative Entity Sponsored program, has been providing much needed employment and training services to eligible participants and meeting employers demands for skilled workers.
