WIB stands for Workforce Investment Board ...

A group of executives from businesses, unions, schools, universities and social services who oversee Montgomery County’s job training and placement programs.

 

According to federal law (the Workforce Investment Act of 1998), every workforce investment area must have a Workforce Investment Board in charge of its jobs programs. This law envisions WIBs as “business-led boards focusing on strategic planning, policy development and oversight of the local workforce investment system.”

 

Montgomery County’s Workforce Investment Board is staffed by the County’s Economic and Workforce Development Office, 1430 DeKalb St., Norristown, PA  19404, 610-278-5950.  Gerald Birkelbach is the Executive Director.
