The Colorado Workforce Development Council (CWDC) advises the Governor and the Colorado Legislature on policy matters related to all programs and activities funded by the Workforce Investment Act. The CWDC has been engaged in creative alliances with industry, economic development, and education, which have helped to infuse over $10 million into the workforce system to support the enrollment, training, and placement of the unemployed, under-employed, and incumbent workers into high-wage jobs. These partnerships reflect the critical importance of education, employment, and economic development to the State's edge and empower the system to be responsive to local issues.
The CWDC dispenses the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) 10% Discretionary Funds to the local regions to ensure that continuous improvement and collaboration are thoroughly implanted within the Colorado workforce system mode of operation. The CWDC tasks its sub-committees to be responsible for the approval and oversight of these 10% Discretionary Fund Grants that are awarded.
