 The Board, in addition to its mandated WIA duties, has the central role of providing leadership and direction on local strategic workforce issues, identifying local needs and developing strategies to address those needs. Its purpose in this regard is to insure that local employers can become and remain competitive by having access to a highly skilled and well educated labor pool and that, individual job seekers and workers can attain the skills necessary for employment or better employment.
To accomplish these ends, the Greater Peninsula’s Board has adopted a broad perspective of what constitutes or defines workforce development and has put in place strategic and action plans that are meant to accomplish the following goals: meet the workforce needs of employers in the Greater Peninsula Region; increase the supply of qualified, skilled workers; strengthen and support the region’s economic development strategies; and, improve access to information and services for all citizens and employers within LWIA #14.
