Workforce Leadership Council
Beyond WIA: 2012 Learning Exchange Opportunity
It seems that 2011 held one challenge after another as Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) worked through funding cuts, large numbers of people trying to understand and navigate the labor market, and budget battles— the likes of which Washington, D.C. has not seen in a long time. WIBs are tackling these current challenges and moving into a level of maturity that is beyond just “hitting WIA numbers”. The National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB) is dedicated to supporting the leadership development of WIBs and invites your participation in the Workforce Leadership Council.
The Council is a learning exchange of WIBs interested in deepening their understanding and capacity for improved performance and leadership. Council participants enter a structured cohort that is based on private-sector improvement processes such as Lean Six Sigma, Total Quality Management, and change management. The process includes a WIB leadership assessment, analysis and review of the assessment results, and access to technical assistance, to achieve high performing success and excellence in talent development. Access is granted to a member-only learning exchange to pose questions, engage in discussions, post and share documents, and enroll in interactive Webinars. Over the year, participants in this first cohort will deepen their capacity to provide demonstrable, relevant value to their local community beyond WIA performance measures.
This first cohort has sold out and is now closed.
