STRATEGIC WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

Empowering local communities through professional consulting and collaborative partnerships, driving sustainable growth and workforce excellence.

Principal Consultant & Expert

Aragon-Headshot-Jack-Chapman-2026-09-10-93.jpg

I’m a Seattle‑based workforce development consultant with more than 15 years of experience helping organizations strengthen their programs, improve performance, and navigate complex federal and state requirements. My career spans executive leadership across regional workforce boards, nonprofit program management, and small business consulting all grounded in a commitment to equity, inclusion, and practical, measurable results.

​

I’ve managed multimillion‑dollar public workforce portfolios, led teams of up to 24 employees, overseen compliance for federal, state, and local agencies, and built equity‑centered programs serving thousands of job seekers, including individuals experiencing homelessness, re‑entry, disability, and language barriers. Whether designing recruitment pipelines, improving service delivery, or upgrading data systems, I focus on solutions that are clear, actionable, and tailored to each organization’s capacity.

​

I founded Community Workforce Consulting to bring this experience directly to the organizations that benefit from it most especially nonprofits, community‑based organizations, and small businesses that often carry big responsibilities with limited resources. I understand the realities of tight budgets, lean teams, and the need for straightforward guidance. My approach is collaborative, transparent, and rooted in helping clients build systems that truly work for the people they serve.

​

Outside of work, I’m often outdoors camping, hiking, and rock climbing across the Pacific Northwest with my wife, two kids and our dog! Those experiences shape how I approach consulting: steady, grounded, and focused on helping organizations navigate challenges with confidence and clarity.
