Quality care for the children of working parents is a vital wraparound service because many parents pass on job opportunities due to the lack of capable, affordable, quality child care. WFSDallas views the availability of quality child care as a building block to a stronger Dallas area workforce.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click the image below to be directed to the website for Workforce Solutions for Greater Dallas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfsdallas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"449\" height=\"449\" class=\"wp-image-2039\" style=\"width: 200px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/tieuc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/377\/2024\/03\/workforce-dallas.jpg\" alt=\"Logo of Workforce Solutions Greater Dallas, celebrating 40 years.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/tieuc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/377\/2024\/03\/workforce-dallas.jpg 449w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/tieuc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/377\/2024\/03\/workforce-dallas-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/tieuc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/377\/2024\/03\/workforce-dallas-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A robust workforce is a key component in the economic engine of the Greater Dallas Area and that\u2019s why Workforce Solutions Greater Dallas (WFSDallas) exists.&nbsp; Its sole mission centers on &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":689,"featured_media":0,"parent":4006,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-fullwidth.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4142","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"coauthors":[],"author_meta":{"author_link":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/tieuc\/author\/bkurdle\/","display_name":"Webmaster"},"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 2 years ago","modified":"Updated 2 years ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on June 17, 2024","modified":"Updated on June 20, 2024"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on June 17, 2024 8:55 pm","modified":"Updated on June 20, 2024 2:49 am"},"featured_img_caption":"","featured_img":false,"series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/tieuc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/tieuc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/tieuc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/tieuc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/689"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/tieuc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/tieuc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4142\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/tieuc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/tieuc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
