Step 1

Register as an employer with NCWorks
NCWorks is North Carolina’s workforce system. Job seekers can search for jobs, create resumes, and find education and training. Employers can find candidates, post jobs, and search labor market information.

When your business is unable to fill jobs with US workers, the US Department of Labor (DOL) offers various programs to enable employers to hire foreign workers. NCWorks is here to help North Carolina businesses with that process. https://www.nccommerce.com/business/workforce-development/foreign-labor-certification
