We are under the direction of trusted community leaders.
The Central Workforce Development Board
The Central Workforce Development Board is comprised of volunteer representatives for the 19-county region and is the regional source for workforce development information and initiatives, including:
- Setting workforce development policy for the region
- Oversight of the administration of employment and training programs
- Approval of the region’s local workforce development plan for service delivery
- Coordinating activities with business and economic development organizations
Central Workforce Development board members are appointed by local officials and work in tandem with the State of Missouri to develop policies and guidelines, and to provide oversight of the local workforce investment system. Board membership includes individuals representing business and industry, economic development agencies, community-based organizations, education, organized labor, public assistance agencies and more.
