WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARD
The Catawba Regional Workforce Investment Board of Directors was established in September of 1999 with representatives from the three-counties of Chester,
Lancaster and York. The Board is authorized under the Federal Workforce Investment Act, Public Law 105-220 and has total responsibility for the Federal
Workforce Investment Act funds allocated to create a comprehensive workforce development system referred to as, OneStop Centers.
The Board consists of twenty-eight (28) members. The Board's membership is by appointment of the appropriate county councils and is voluntary. The
directors are comprised of representatives from local private business and industry, as well as, representatives from education, economic development,
labor, community-based organizations, and other representatives from local organizations who are mandated partners within the OneStop Delivery System.
The purpose of the Board is to provide policy and guidance for and exercise oversight of activities under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 for the
Catawba Workforce Investment Area. The Board has total responsibility for the federal funds allocated to create and maintain a comprehensive and integrated
workforce development system that is responsive to the needs of employers and is available to all citizens with the three-county region. The law mandates
local coordination and collaboration among all local employment and training entities. The Catawba Regional Workforce Investment Board is the catalyst to
ensure that workforce investment activities are responsive to local demands.
The Board meets bi-monthly to remove barriers and align programs and services to achieve and sustain economic prosperity for the Catawba Region. It has
policy responsibility for approximately $2.8 million dollars to administer a comprehensive array of employment and training services for adults, dislocated
workers, youth, as well as, services for local private businesses and industries to upgrade the skills of their workforce.
