 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.
