National Association of Workforce Boards

About National Association of Workforce Boards

NAWB represents that nation's more than 570 workforce development boards and their members that coordinate and leverage workforce strategies with business and economic development stakeholders within their communities to ensure that state and local workforce development and job training programs meet the needs of employers. These investments in workforce development create a comprehensive system to provide America with a highly skilled workforce. NAWB is the only association that advocates for workforce development boards. NAWB works closely with policy makers in Washington, DC to inform national strategy as it relates to workforce development boards and our partners in business, education, economic development, and labor. We support our members through a comprehensive program of advocacy, training and technical assistance, convenings, communications, and the promotion of strategic partnerships for the advancement of our nation’s workforce. Our annual conference, The Forum, gathers a diverse audience of workforce development professionals and leaders in business, government, labor, and education to learn from experts, technologists, and each other to explore both practical and theoretical approaches to solving our nation's most pressing challenges.
