California Workforce Investment Board

California's 49 Local Workforce Investment Areas (LWIAs) are designated by the Governor based on population and commonality of labor market. Each LWIA is administered by a Local Workforce Investment Board (LWIB) certified by the state in partnership with local elected officials. The LWIBs are comprised of representatives from private sector businesses, organized labor, community-based organizations, local government agencies, and local education agencies. LWIBs provide policy guidance, designate operators for their area’s One-Stop Career Centers, and oversee the job training activities within their local areas.
