 Workforce
Development Boards are public-private partnerships that are
charged with planning, policy development, implementation,
and oversight for workforce development programs and services
in local workforce development areas. Private sector participation
and leadership are essential for the success of our workforce
development boards.
A Workforce Development Board works with business leaders,
education organizations, local governments and community groups
to make sure that education and training resources are used
to meet the needs of local businesses. Federal and state
funds are administered locally which is key to the success
of Workforce Development Boards. Regional collaboration
among boards is a wise investment of time and resources because
employers draw employees from across the region, and employee
will not hesitate to drive a distance for a great job.
Another reason for regional WDB collaboration is that it draws
on the strengths that each partner can bring to the group.
Wokforce Development Boards also have oversight of service
delivery centers in each county called JobLink
Career Centers.
