DuPage Workforce Board

Ad Hoc Committees

In order for DuPage County to continue its economic expansion, it is critical that economic development and workforce development decision makers direct resources to those industries and occupations most likely to grow and expand.

Specific industry sectors and occupations will be analyzed and addressed with an assurance that on-going communication between industry and education/training entities occurs to understand how individuals move within occupational clusters, that a worker pipeline is in place and that training is relevant to industry demand. 

What do want to accomplish?

Leverage and strengthen partnerships to align workforce initiatives for the economic vitality of the community.  Function as a convener, collaborator, and facilitator of strategic partnerships between private sector business, education, economic development, community based organizations, government, foundations and other workforce system partners to enhance the local workforce system and better meet the needs of employers and job seekers.

What will success look like?

1. Sector-based Leadership Councils identify needs and gaps and work with system partners to develop solutions to the obstacles and barriers that impede access to quality skill development.
2. The Board's Strategic Plan is aligned with plans of DuPage County, DuPage Regional Development Alliance (Choose DuPage), College of DuPage and other entities engaged in providing for the economic well-being of the county, it's residents and businesses.
3. The DuPage Workforce Board is an active partner in the Workforce Boards of Metropolitan Chicago's initiatives.
