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.
