Newark Workforce Development Board

Newark Workforce Development Board The Newark Workforce Development Board is responsible for the strategic direction of employment and Together we all win!

The NWDB, through WIOA and the New Jersey Unified Plan, is responsible for providing strategic direction and operational oversight for the Newark One-Stop Career Center, which includes Newark Works, Newark Youth One-Stop, Newark Career Training Center and the Office of Re-Entry, through a system-wide operational planning, policy development and strategic analysis in the local Newark workforce inve

stment area. To successfully accomplish this, the NWDB:
• Oversees WIOA funds by driving investments based on industry needs

• Sets the strategic direction of Newark’s Workforce and One-Stop System

• Creates forums for analyzing and discussing critical workforce issues to determine the best implementation strategies

• Partners with State and Local elected officials to ensure NWDB efforts are aligned with the goals of the City of Newark

• Conducts labor market analysis to better assess labor demand and to advocate for employer and job-seeker needs

• Increases system accountability by developing policy and providing oversight over the programs and services facilitated by Newark Works

The NWDB is not only a government agency; we are a non-profit 501c3 organization. We support the operation of many programs, in partnership with Newark Works, which require staff support and funding. Our federal and state workforce funding is limited in amount, and very restricted in its use. Many of the special initiatives and creative programming that we need to implement require an alternative funding source. As a non-profit, we have a special opportunity provided to us to solicit outside funding in various ways – Supplemental Government Grants, Corporate Foundations, and Individual Tax-Deductible Donations. We invite our Corporate and Community partners to invest in the extraordinary impact of our organization by supporting our fundraising efforts . We need access to unrestricted funding that will allow us to continue to provide the innovative specialized training, programs and support services that empower Newark Residents and lead them on the path to self-sufficiency.
