Local Workforce Development Boards
Oklahoma’s six local workforce development boards work to provide area specific strategies to enhance the local workforce. They analyze the local labor market, determining what occupations and industries are in high-demand, and then use that information to drive various economic and workforce initiatives, including training opportunities to bridge potential skill-gaps with the existing workforce.
