NYC Workforce Development Board

The New York City Workforce Development Board (the "Board") is a federally mandated body whose members are appointed by the Mayor. Several of the City's workforce development programs receive federal funding authorized by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), landmark legislation that passed in 2014 that helps strengthen and improve the nation's public workforce system. With essential staffing support from NYC Talent, the Board is responsible for ensuring that investments of federal WIOA dollars in adult and youth workforce development services are strategic, fiscally sound, and effective. The Board is comprised of 29 members who represent private sector employers, labor unions, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies.
