As authorized by the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1997, the nation’s State and local Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) are responsible for developing and implementing programs to maintain a high-performing workforce.

Through a nationwide network of about 3,500 One-Stop career centers and additional stand-alone programs, WIBs deliver core, intensive, and training services for adults, dislocated workers, and youth. WIBs also provide business services such as customized training and recruitment.

The KRA team supports local WIBs by operating comprehensive programs that are readily accessed by job seekers and employers alike. Through partnerships with industry, supportive-service providers, and training and education organizations, we ensure that every program we operate is customized to the needs of the local labor market.
