Since its inception, Burlington County Workforce Investment Board members have been selected based on their reputation, knowledge, and expertise in the work place, the community and on workforce readiness issues. Membership has been designated according to State Employment and Training commission guidelines and is in accordance with not only State Employment and Training Commission guidelines, but also in compliance with the Workforce Investment Act of 1998.
The intent of the membership is to provide the deepest representation of the county. Some of the members satisfy the membership requirements of more than one category of membership and thus assigned dual roles. Additionally, the Board continues to utilize a committee structure, which encourages the involvement of other organizations and agencies. Through these committees, the Board is able to incorporate the perspective, energy, expertise and creativeness of various organizations that play an integral role in the Workforce Investment for the county. The Burlington County Workforce Investment will continue to impartially represent the interest of each participating agency , while developing a system that gets resources to the people in the community who need them.
The Burlington County Workforce Investment Board accomplishes most, if not all, of their duties through a strong committee structure. The Burlington County WIB's committee structure has been reorganized to ensure that our committees meet the functions outlined in the Memorandum of Understandings and in the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. |
