Northern Panhandle Workforce Investment Board

Northern Panhandle Workforce Investment Board

The Workforce West Virginia Division under the West Virginia Department of Commerce effectively coordinates all available state and federal training resources by orchestrating the efforts of state agencies and local organizations. The division also administers West Virginia's Workforce Investment Act, with seven regional boards that provide a link between the state and local levels. Workforce WV Career Centers are operated locally, providing job seekers a one-stop location for employment-related services. For more information, visit www.workforcewv.org.

As a result, wonderful new opportunities are being created in our local region for those who are either unemployed or under employed. A seamless career and workforce delivery system operates in the local One Stop Centers of the Northern Panhandle region. Job seekers and employers alike are provided with a "One Stop Shopping" solution to their employment and training needs.

The NPWIB envisions a workforce development service system that is driven by information technology, with the main focus on customer satisfaction and convenience. We strive to continuously improve the quality of services offered and customize solutions to meet individual customer needs.
The NPWIB plans to reach the goals of:
  • Developing a more integrated training service(s) via WORKFORCE West Virginia Career Centers
  • Promote better paying jobs in our region
  • Match employers' needs with skilled workers
  • Address workforce development challenges in rural areas
  • Provide additional training opportunities and training providers for our region's residents
  • Strengthen ties between the local economic development community and the workforce development system
  • Continuously monitor and improve customer satisfaction
