Workforce

The Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) main role is to direct federal, state and local funding to workforce development programs. WIBs conduct and publish research on these programs and the needs of the local job market. They also oversee "one stop" career centers, where job seekers can get employment information, find out about career development training opportunities and connect to various programs in their area.

WIBs work in conjunction with economic development related organizations.

California Workforce Investment Boards (CalWIBs) are designated by the Governor based on population and commonality of labor market. Each LWIA is administered by a Local Workforce Investment Board (LWIB) certified by the state in partnership with local elected officials. The LWIBs are comprised of representatives from private sector businesses, organized labor, community-based organizations, local government agencies, and local education agencies.

The National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB) represents the interests of the nation's Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs). Across the country, over 600 state and local WIBs are providing workforce development leadership in their communities.
