State Resources
There are a variety of state resources across the state who can provide information on accessing funding, navigating paperwork, and finding employment programs that can assist you in finding, training, and retaining your workers.
Sector Partnership Initiative (SPI)
A new, industry-driven statewide initiative to help businesses in targeted industries address their workforce needs, while also helping workers prepare for and advance in careers in these critical sectors. The initiative focuses on five industries:construction, information technology, health care, hospitality, and manufacturing. SPI can mainly provide resources to us to launch branding campaigns and share our message about the career pathways available in our industry. NHLRA is the sector advisor for the Hospitality and Tourism sector and will use this platform as part of our broader efforts stated above.

NH Employment Security
NH Employment Security (NHES) is a federally funded state agency. In 1933 the State Employment Service was created, first known as the National Reemployment Service. In 1934, the Wagner-Peyser Act passed. In 1935, the Social Security Act passed. Title III and Title IX establish the framework for the states to pass laws setting up unemployment compensation systems. In November of 1935, New Hampshire Unemployment Law became effective. Today NHES has 13 local offices located across the state to provide services to job seekers and employers.
