Founded in 1999 as the successor organization to the Lancaster County Private Industry Council, the Lancaster County Workforce Investment Board has a mandate through the federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998 to be the lead organization in Lancaster County for workforce planning and development for business and the public alike.
- Learn how your organization can benefit from the programs and funding provided by the Workforce Investment System in your area.
- Construct a long-term workforce development plan, growing your organization while supporting the local community.
The board has in place a comprehensive strategic plan that focuses its investment strategy on seven industry clusters in the Lancaster County economy – including metals and metal fabricating – that are growing and that support gold-collar (high-skill, high-pay, high-demand) jobs. In addition, the board administers federal and state monies that fund programs for adults, dislocated workers and young people through the PA CareerLink of Lancaster County and other contractors. PA CareerLink of Lancaster County is a one-stop service center where 15 different employment, education and training, and social service organizations provide services to employers, jobseekers and people who are seeking to increase their skills portfolios.
