What is a Workforce Board? Massachusetts's Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) are providing workforce development leadership in their communities. The business-led WIBs have the critical role of governance and oversight of the federal and state resources that support the regional network of [|One-Stop Career Centers] and education and training investments in their regions. Workforce Board membership consists of private-sector businesses, working in concert with labor, education and the public sector to design effective demand driven workforce development services for job seekers and employers. To keep businesses competitive and to sustain economic growth WIBs:
 * Identify changing workforce needs as part of the regional economic development strategy;
 * Develop strategic responses to the labor market and industry;
 * Work to build a comprehensive workforce system in response to the demands of the marketplace, workplace and workforce;
 * Focus on accountability, customer satisfaction and measurable results.
