WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARD
The Workforce Investment Board of Passaic County is a gateway to our area’s workforce development system and its One-Stop services. The WIB is a public/private partnership formed through the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, which created workforce investment boards throughout the country. This federal legislation was created to enable the workforce development system to be demand-driven and responsive to the needs of employers and workers.
The mission of the Workforce Investment Board of Passaic County is to provide the leadership and direction that leverages all workforce investment resources to create a system that is built on quality standards, strong interagency cooperation and innovative ideas so that every employer and resident has access to and benefits from the workforce programs and services needed to be successful in the workplace.
Services are provided through funding provided by the U.S. Department of Labor and the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
