WHO WE ARE
The Workforce Investment Act of 1998 was created to “consolidate, coordinate, and improve employment, training, literacy and vocational rehabilitation programs”. The State Workforce Investment Board was authorized under this Act to assist in the development of each area’s State plan and to carry out workforce development activities specific to the needs of each designated local workforce investment area.
The Virgin Islands State Workforce Investment Board was established by Executive Order 438-2008, which replaces the Human Resource Investment Council established under Executive Order 375-1998. The Board has been designated as the “primary entity for planning, policy development, coordination, monitoring and evaluation of the Territory’s Workforce Development System”.
WHAT WE DO
The State Workforce Investment Board (Workforce Board) acts as an advisory arm to the Governor on workforce issues in the Territory. While maintaining its statutory responsibilities, the Board serves as a convener of all workforce development activities between government agencies, the private sector, labor unions and faith and community-based partners.
