Local Workforce Investment Areas (LWIAs) are designated by the Governor. California has 50 LWIAs. In some cases a single county comprises one LWIA; in other cases, a county contains more than one LWIA; in still others, an LWIA includes more than one county. In each case, the LWIA’s designation is based on population and commonality of labor market. Each LWIA is administered by a Local Board certified by the state and comprised of representatives from private sector businesses, organized labor, community-based organizations, local government agencies, and local education agencies. Local Boards designate the One-Stop operators, provide policy guidance, and oversee the job training activities within their local areas.
