The role of the local Workforce Investment Board (WIB) is system focused and strategic in nature.  As a decision-making entity, the WIB determines priorities of service, negotiates measures, facilitates integration, and ensures quality outcomes.  By understanding workforce development needs, anticipating trends, and focusing on system outcomes and performance, the WIB can effect substantial long-term change in the economic well being of the community.

The Workforce Investment Act outlines the primary responsibilities of the WIB as the following:

  • Oversee the local workforce investment system
  • Develop a strategic plan for the local system
  • Designate the one-stop operator(s)
  • Certify eligible providers of youth, training, and intensive services
  • Negotiate local performance measures
  • Establish performance goals
  • Evaluate and improve performance
