Investment Board Committee Organization
The Bergen County Workforce Investment
Board is composed of leaders from the fields of business, labor,
education, and government. The Workforce Investment Board is an
alliance between the public and private sectors with an emphasis on
business leadership.
All members shall be persons who have
attained the age of 18 years. In keeping with the state mandate on
membership requirements, at least 51% of all voting members shall be
representative of the private sector. Persons interested in serving as
a committee or board member should contact the WIB at
tammol@bergen.org.
The Bergen County Workforce Investment
Board is composed of the following committees:
-
The
Executive Committee is the head of all functional committees
and is comprised of the WIB director, chair, and vice-chair in
addition to the chairs of each other committee. The executive
committee develops policy and makes recommendations to the board for
the strategic workforce plan to ensure continuity and accomplishment
of the WIB’s mission and goals. The committee also reviews the
participation of members to ensure compliance with Workforce
Investment Act mandates; recruits new members by suggesting names of
business representatives who are interested in service; submits the
names of candidates to the County Executive, and, subsequently, to
the WIB board for approval.
-
The
One-Stop Career System Committee develops linkages among the
various organizations involved with providing core, intensive, and
training services to the Bergen County Workforce. This committee
provides guidance to the One-Stop Career System in order to ensure
its effectiveness, efficiency, and continuous improvement. The
One-Stop Committee also has a sub-committee: it oversees the Welfare
to Work committee. The Welfare to Work committee, a joint venture
with the Human Services Advisory Council, oversees the WorkFirst New
Jersey programs, services, contracts, and providers. Another part
of the One-Stop Career System Committee is the Disability committee,
which insures that individuals with disabilities will receive
services through the One-Stop Career System.
-
The Youth Committee develops programs that focus on at-risk
youth between the ages of 14 and 21. It sets policy related to
employment opportunities and career pathways for youth, coordinates
funding for related programs, and maximizes available resources in
order to best serve the youth population targeted by the WIA
legislation.
