Mission Statement
 

 

Our mission is to

 understand and respond

 to the needs of employers while

 maximizing the potential of

 job seekers to improve the

 economic health of

 Ulster County

 

 

The Ulster County Workforce Development Board is composed of business leaders and representatives from education, organized labor, rehabilitation agencies, economic development agencies, community based organizations, and public employment agencies.  The majority of the Board are from the private sector.  Members are appointed by the Chair of the Ulster County Legislature and serve two-year terms. 

The Ulster County Workforce Development Board sets the direction of the Ulster County Office of Employment and Training (the administrative entity for the Ulster County Workforce Investment Area).  The Board reviews the results of current work and develops policy to establish plans and programs that will assist both local businesses in sustaining a qualified workforce and residents to achieve self-sufficiency. 

The Board is also charged with helping design seamless access to all agencies that offer workforce services to both the business community and to job seekers at the Ulster County Workforce Development OneStop Center.
