The California Workforce Investment Board (CWIB) advises and assists in planning,
coordinating, and monitoring the provisions of California’s workforce development
programs and services. All members of the Board are appointed by the Governor
and represent the many facets of workforce development -- business, labor, public
education, higher education, economic development, youth activities, employment
and training, as well as the Legislature.
Under the policy guidance of the CWIB, the Employment Development Department
(EDD) http://www.edd.ca.gov/ administers the Title I workforce investment systems
throughout the State. They are responsible for the State-level day-to-day administration
of the WIA funds for adults, displaced workers, and youth. EDD works in cooperation
with Local Workforce Investment Areas (LWIA). These LWIAs are comprised of units
of local government and are designated by the Governor 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.
Title
I of the WIA authorizes and funds a number of employment and training programs
in California. These programs help to prepare Californians to participate in
the State’s workforce by increasing their employment and earnings potential,
improve their educational and occupational skills, and, in some cases, reduce
their dependency on welfare.
