This is a list of the 2007 Tacoma-Pierce County Employment and Training Consortium employees and their job title and salaries. (50 employees)

The Tacoma-Pierce County Employment and Training Consortium was created by the city of Tacoma and Pierce County on October 1, 1982, to provide employment and training opportunities for eligible individuals within Pierce County. Most of the Consortium’s funding is from grants, primarily the Workforce Investment Act grant. The Consortium operated on a budget of approximately $14 million for fiscal year 2006. It has approximately 59 full-time employees. The Consortium is governed by a five-member Executive Board composed of the Pierce County Executive, the city of Tacoma Mayor, one member each from the city and county Councils and the Chairperson of the Workforce Development Council (a separate, non-profit organization that serves as an advisory board of the Consortium). The Board appoints the Consortium’s Director who has administrative authority over the Consortium.
