What is a Workforce Development Board (WDB)?
The Workforce Development
Board is a local board required by the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of
1998 that is charged with planning, policy development and implementation,
and oversight responsibilities for the workforce development services and
programs under WIA. It’s a majority private sector Board, appointed by
local elected officials (county commissioners in the five Region Q
counties), overseeing programs for adults, workers who have been laid-off
from jobs (dislocated workers), welfare recipients, youth, job seekers and
businesses. The non-private sector Board members represent local community
partners such as public schools, colleges, vocational rehabilitation,
organized labor, economic development, the employment services, community
based organization and department of social services. The WDB works in
partnership with local elected officials.
