"The Centers of Excellence were instrumental in supporting two of our local workforce boards. Their information, presentations, and technical assistance provided much needed quantitative information that I simply would not have been able to provide without them. Lastly their support has opened up new project potential that may lead to large grant. I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of information and the level of professional support that I have received from the Centers of Excellence."

Workforce Investment Boards

Balancing Budget Cuts with Workforce Needs

Workforce investment boards play a critical role in the development of California’s workforce. As the strategists who enact the intent of the Workforce Investment Act, workforce investment boards work collaboratively with community colleges in identifying training options and solutions to improve the employability of workers.

Workforce investment boards access our environmental scans to understand all aspects of emerging high growth and economically vital sectors in California.

Workforce boards are invited to join our partnership events to discuss needs and solutions for building workforce talent.
