Our Outdoor Recreation office leads statewide efforts connecting NH employers with tangible tools to recruit and retain people. One opportunity is NH Outdoor Industry Day, proclaimed by Governor Ayotte on June 10th, offering businesses a network of outdoor industry connections to partners across sectors in support of workforce development.

New Hampshire remains one of the fastest growing economies in the nation, and in 2025, we are building on that momentum, creating a vibrant and resilient future. BEA is leading the way with strategic initiatives to strengthen workforce development, expand infrastructure, and drive community vitality.

In partnership with NH Works, BEA Office of Workforce Opportunity (OWO) is proactively supporting employers and affected workers of layoffs and closures. With timely, no-cost assistance, OWO helps ease the transition, reducing the impact of job dislocation, and empowering employees to retool and pursue new career opportunities.
