  2. Actively monitor local, regional, and national private and public workforce development initiatives; and
  3. Develop and implement a statewide intelligence coordination strategy.
In addition, the division provides support to a number of Governor appointed boards and commissions. These boards and commissions are mandated under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and the National and Community Services Act of 1990.

Federal and State funded programs which are administered through the Division of Workforce Development include:
  • AmeriCorps*State
  • Internship and Work Experience Expansion (Operation Intern)
