About Us

Vision. Mission. Mandate.

Our mission statement continues to guide the day-to-day operation of our organization, partnership development and project activity of the Board.

Local Boards are convinced that “grassroots input” is absolutely essential in reaching a better understanding of local labour markets and ultimately responding effectively to their unique situations.

The Workforce Planning Board provides relevant information on industry and employment factors that adds value to economic and education planning at the grass roots.

For 20 years the board has been delivering sound, reliable reports and direction in workforce development.  We work with business and community groups to address their most pressing concerns, allowing our region a strong and vibrant future outlook.
