The primary role of the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB) is to convene the state’s workforce development partners to ensure a common vision, shared goals, and objectives under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, and an aligned approach to program implementation accomplished through California’s Unified Strategic Workforce Development Plan (State Plan).
The California Workforce Development Board and the Employment Development Department funded projects that design, develop, and implement projects that accelerate employment and re-employment strategies for California job seekers. The State Board and EDD will fund projects and partnerships to create and prototype innovative strategies that bridge education and workforce gaps for targeted populations, and initial implementation of promising models and practices in workforce system service delivery infrastructure.
Projects may also want to place an emphasis on the following Workforce Accelerator Fund goals:
- Improve labor market and skills outcomes for the target groups through the development of strategies that fill gaps, accelerate processes, or customize services to ensure greater access to workforce services and employment opportunities.
- Implement, replicate and scale successful innovations that emerged from previous Accelerator projects.
- Create new modes for service delivery and funding alignment that can be replicated across the State and tailored to regional needs.
- Leverage State investment with commitments from industry, labor, public, and community partners.
