A7. The Workforce Investment Boards – WIBs – are entities created to implement the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. For each local Workforce Investment Board, a chief elected official appoints community and business members as Workforce Investment Board members. There are also designated seats for representatives from labor unions and educational institutions, such as community colleges. The Workforce Investment Board’s main role is to direct federal, state and local funding to workforce development programs. It also oversees the One-Stop Career Centers, where job seekers can get employment information, find out about career development training opportunities and connect to various programs in their area. One-Stop Career Centers also provide many no-cost services to employers as well.
