Workforce Development

WORKFORCE West Virginia, a division of the Department of Commerce, effectively coordinates all available state and federal training resources by orchestrating the efforts of state agencies and local organizations.

The division's training professionals work with West Virginia companies to design the best possible solution to meet specific employer needs. Programs train new employees or upgrade the skills of existing workers. All training is customized and guaranteed to the employer's satisfaction.

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 West Virginia centers are operated locally, providing job seekers a one-stop location for employment-related services.
