state workforce development boards

State Workforce Development Boards are government-established groups that plan and oversee employment programs within a state. They coordinate efforts among employers, educators, and community organizations to improve job opportunities, skills training, and workforce readiness. Their goal is to ensure that workers have the skills needed for current and future job markets, helping individuals find employment and supporting economic growth. These boards also oversee federal workforce funds, develop workforce strategies, and connect job seekers with training resources, acting as a bridge between employers and the workforce to strengthen the overall labor market.
