Through the support and leadership of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, the County Workforce Development Board (WDB) once again is being recognized among California’s highest-performing local workforce boards for its success in transforming lives and strengthening business throughout the nation’s largest geographic county.
The three-year High Performing Board designation, from the California Workforce Development Board, underscores the impact the WDB is having in making sure job seekers obtain the skills they need and encouraging business growth by helping employers find qualified workers.
WDB exceeded state and federal standards in five specific categories in order to receive the designation, including training, strategic planning and business services.
“This is a great honor for our county and the Workforce Development team and recognizes our unified commitment to creating opportunities for job seekers and job creators,” said Board of Supervisors Chair Dawn Rowe.
“Our Board’s continued commitment to engaging with the business community has resulted in extraordinary partnerships and opportunities for job seekers that have benefited and advanced the workforce system. I am proud of what the Board has achieved and will continue to achieve,” said William Sterling, WDB Chair.
