New Hampshire Working Program:

Governor Lynch has recently signed the new NH Working legislation.  This is a three part program intended to help employers keep their workforce during difficult economic times - WorkShare, help employees return to work through internship training – Return to Work, and prepare dislocated workers for better career opportunities through training – Prepare for Work.

The State of New Hampshire has developed a three part program to help employers retain and build their workforce and to help employees return to or prepare for work.

Employers, this link will bring you to the NH Employment Security web page which explains these programs in detail and how the state will share in the burden of retaining your workforce and help with new hires. http://www.nh.gov/nhes/nhworking/index.html
