The Board
The Bay Consortium Workforce Development Board (BCWDB) brings together sixteen jurisdictions across Virginia to provide a forum to assure that workforce training and employment initiatives meet the economic development and business needs of each local area. The board is committed to ensuring that resources are leveraged and expended efficiently and effectively, and our leadership is united in making sure that our workforce system is demand driven, locally based, and meets the needs of employers and individuals.
What does it take to be a board member?
Membership to the Board is by appointment by local elected officials to guide and oversee employment and training. Membership includes representatives from private businesses, education, organized labor, community-based organizations, economic development authorities, and public employment services.
