WIA

Lowcountry Workforce Development

      The Workforce Development division of the COG focuses on growing our local economy by providing a skilled workforce to existing and new businesses.  Funded primarily through the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), we provide services to both employers and job seekers.  All Lowcountry WIA services are designed and governed by the Lowcountry Workforce Investment Board (LWIB), which is representative of all four counties, government agencies, education and local businesses.  The LWIB maintains a business majority at all time and is chaired by business representatives.  Under their auspices, Lowcountry WIA is a strong and vital economic development tool that benefits both our local businesses and job seekers at all levels.  To learn more, click here: www.lowcountryworkforce.org
