Workforce Development Board

The Workforce Development Board (WDB) is part of the public workforce system that supports economic expansion and the development of talent in the local workforce.  The WDB utilizes local labor market information to develop strategies to focus resources on high growth industries in the area.  The WDB contracts with service providers for employment and training activities for youth, adults, and dislocated workers.  Services under the WDB also include Rapid Response and Layoff Aversion programs to assist employers and their employees during downsizing or business closures.
