About Us:

The Job Force Board is a business-led policy and oversight organization responsible for creating a comprehensive, community-wide response to the challenges of building a highly skilled workforce and a competitive regional economy. As a convener of community leaders or stakeholders, the Job Force Board engages in an ongoing strategic planning process to identify strategies, actions and measurements that will create and maintain a healthy and growing economy, equipped with a local workforce that has the knowledge and skills needed by business in a technological and competitive marketplace. The result will be to draw from a vibrant pool of skilled workers enabling business and industry to thrive year-round. In turn, this business vitality creates the potential for higher paying jobs; thus improving the overall regional economy.

Businesses' workforce requirements shape the goals of the Job Force Board and the Michigan Works! Service Center System. By listening to businesses, the board is able to direct the workforce toward value-added, career preparation services, and toward education and
training that produces marketable skills that are in demand for those businesses.
