local workforce investment boards

Local Workforce Investment Boards (LWIBs) are community-based groups that coordinate efforts to connect local workers with job opportunities. They develop strategies to improve workforce skills, support job seekers, and meet local employers’ needs. LWIBs plan and oversee programs related to education, training, and employment services, often funded by government and private resources. Their goal is to strengthen the local economy by ensuring businesses have access to a skilled workforce and residents have access to meaningful employment options. Essentially, they act as a bridge between job seekers, workers, and employers within a community.
