Local Workforce Areas

Local Workforce Areas are regional regions designated to coordinate employment, training, and workforce development services within a specific geographic area. They bring together local government agencies, businesses, educational institutions, and community organizations to address the employment needs of residents and employers. These areas support job placement, skills training, and economic growth by tailoring programs to local labor market conditions, ensuring that workers have the skills needed for available jobs and that employers can find qualified employees. Essentially, they serve as focused hubs for workforce planning and support within a particular community or region.
