Workforce Investment Boards
and One Stop Training Centers

Every Workforce Investment Board (WIB) has its own charter, organization, and unique context. What they all share, however, is a set of central roles. Each WIB provides oversight for the Workforce Investment Act program, acts as a catalyst to provide seamless services among various workforce programs, and provides community leadership around workforce issues. The Green Collar Jobs Council is tasked with understanding the current and future workforce needs of the Green/Clean economy, developing a the economy and ensure that efforts aimed at improving worker’s skills are coordinated and effective. This session will look at ways the Workforce Investment Boards and the Green Collar Jobs Council are working with Community Colleges and each other to ensure the educated workforce of the future.
