Workforce Development Professional Competencies Course, July 18-22, 2005
Contains material submitted by the statewide network of workforce investment boards. Local workforce investment boards are responsible for establishing and operating Virginia Workforce Centers, and for providing a forum to assure that workforce training and employment initiatives meet the economic and business needs for each of the seventeen areas. Although each board is given a number, most of the boards have names they use in place of the area number. In late 2004 each board was responsible for submitting action, business, and strategic plans for their body. These plans document the budgets and activities of each board until 2007. While most boards submitted three separate plans, some only submitted one or two, and others combined one or more into a single report. Also included in the files is correspondence relating to the creation and submission of these reports. The files are arranged alphabetically by the name of the investment board, with two folders at the end that contain information regarding Exemplary Performance and Local Coordination Monetary Incentive Awards.
