The Wayne County Common Good Linkage Team

The Wayne County Common Good Linkage Team is an informal network organization with 16 volunteer member community organizations. The Team established itself in 1995 to build a public employment services network with a mission to reduce the barriers to employment for their shared and chronically unemployed or underemployed clients by improving information sharing, providing access to an inter system network of needed employment assistance programs, and building working linkages with business-industry-and employers. The services provided by the members include: veterans services, disability services, mental health and addiction services, basic education and literacy, library based employment/employers information, community development, employment and training services, career development, technical skills training, and older worker services.
