About
Organization:
The California Workforce Association (CWA) is a nonprofit membership organization that develops public policy strategies and builds local capacity to address critical workforce issues. It represents the 50 Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs), over 200 One-Stop Career Centers, and other California workforce development partners, including local nonprofits, government, educational institutions, and community-based workforce development-related organizations. CWA is dedicated to developing and implementing a broad spectrum of workforce development policies. It is a partner on two WIRED projects. Tasks:
Project 1.7 - WIB Resource Toolkit:
- Team with partners to develop a WIB toolkit for WIB members, local elected officials and other community partners. The toolkit will focus on how science and technology are changing work and the kinds of jobs now and in the future, and how WIBs can serve as conveners, brokers, catalysts and can collect and disseminate workforce intelligence in response to these changes in the workplace.
- Work with CCST to provide background, context and contacts related to the workforce development system.
Project 3.14 - Learning Collaboratory:
- As project lead, work with partners to provide information, training and technical assistance to local WIBs, so that their planning processes are informed by regional challenges and changing global market conditions.
- With partners, support future project sustainability by introducing its purpose and principles into the pre-existing communications networks and policy development processes, including quarterly Board of Directors meetings, annual conferences, WIB Chair and one-stop community meetings, regional WIB meetings, internet communication and resource bases, and newly developed monographs.
