About this Event
The 2026 Baltimore County WIOA Partner Convening
It has been several years since we last gathered as a full workforce system, and the landscape has changed. You have new staff, new programs, and new challenges. But one thing remains constant: We are stronger when we work together.
Join the Baltimore County WIOA Steering Committee for the 2026 Annual WIOA Convening at beautiful Oregon Ridge. This isn't just another meeting—it’s a celebration of our shared mission and a vital opportunity to break down silos.
Why You Should Attend: We know that the best "warm handoff" happens when you actually know the person you are calling. This day is designed to help you:
- Rebuild Strategic Partnerships: Re-introduce yourself to old colleagues and meet the new faces powering Baltimore County’s workforce engine.
- Learn the Landscape: Discover the specific services, grants, and resources your partners are offering right now so you can better serve your clients.
- Align Our Systems: Participate in interactive sessions focused on making our network seamless for job seekers and businesses.
What to Expect:
- Dynamic Networking: Structured activities to help you mingle without the awkwardness.
- Expert Insights: Keynote speakers and panels covering the trends shaping our local economy.
- Fun & Fresh Air: Enjoy the scenic setting of Oregon Ridge—a perfect backdrop for clearing your head and sparking new ideas.
Come for the content, stay for the connection. Whether you are with Title I, Adult Education, Vocational Rehabilitation, a CBO, or a non-profit, you are a critical piece of this puzzle. Let’s turn "referrals" into "relationships."
Note: A boxed lunch will be provided to keep you fueled for networking!
