WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT / WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

 

The Catawba Regional COG serves as a regional agency to help implement the goals of the Federal Workforce Investment Act in York, Chester, and Lancaster counties.  Working under the guidance of the Catawba Regional Workforce Investment Board, the program seeks to meet the needs of employers by developing a sustainable and trained work force.

The Mission Statement of the Board is:

 

            To create, modify and sustain a local system of cooperation and

            coordination among all workforce development entities to ensure

            that the employment-related needs of employers, incumbent

            workers and job seekers are met.

 

The Board has established a series of goals and objectives to implement this Mission Statement.  Assisting the Board are staff members of Catawba Regional COG.  The staff works with the South Carolina Employment Security Commission, local school districts, employers, and contractors providing job training services.
