Charlotte Works is a public policy–focused workforce organization based in Charlotte, North Carolina, that serves job-seekers and businesses by developing a skilled talent pipeline aligned with employer needs. The organization seeks to understand the hiring requirements of local, relocating, and expanding companies and uses that insight to tailor resources and training funds through customized recruiting tools, hiring-needs assessments, training grants, workshops, and access to local labor market data and forecasts. It operates through NCWorks Career Centers in Charlotte, where job-seekers and employers can access services to support job placement and regional economic growth, and it administers Youth Works to aid eligible youth ages 16 to 21 in achieving academic and employment success. A recent development is a partnership with AssetMark, Inc. announced in September 2025 to connect local talent with about 250 new jobs in Charlotte. The organization has a history of collaborating with local entities, including a 2020 employment survey project with the City of Charlotte to better understand residents' employment challenges.
