The West Central Wisconsin
Workforce Development Board is appointed by the Local Elected Officials of the
West Central Wisconsin County Boards' Consortium and sanctioned by the
Governor, to carry out responsiblities under the federal Workforce Investment
Act of 1998. Nominations to the Board may be made by business, trade and
designated community organizations.
Formerly known as the Private
Industry Council, the Board was established in 1983 to administer the federal
Job Training Partnership Act. Through a strategic planning process that began
in 1995, the Board has been in transition to assume the broader roles
authorized under the Workforce Investment Act and related local, state and
federal legislation.
The West Central Wisconsin
Workforce Development area stretches 150 miles, from the Mississippi and St.
Croix rivers on the west to near the center of Wisconsin. Our population of
approximately 400,000 supports a workforce of nearly a quarter million hard
working citizens. Our diverse business community is comprised of over 10,000
establishments from all sectors of the economy. Meeting the workforce
development needs of this region provides the opportunities and challenges for
the Workforce Development Board.
