Workforce development is a complex and challenging area that offers significant opportunity for legislators to influence their state’s competitiveness and overall economic well-being, to support working families, and to help individuals find employment that uses and enhances their skills and pays an adequate wage. Although several federal programs provide funding and policy guidelines for workforce development, states play a critical role in the delivery of workforce development services to individuals and employers.

State workforce development programs are funded through both state and federal revenue streams, and include programs for youth, dislocated workers and adult workers in need of job training.
