Our mission is to establish and promote workforce development
policies that lead to a comprehensive workforce system in
southeastern North Carolina, resulting in a highly skilled
and productive workforce that improves the social and economic
quality of life in the community.
The Cape
Fear Workforce Development Consortium Consortium
(CFWDC) is
an association of the four counties of Region O - Brunswick,
Columbus, New Hanover and Pender to provide employment and
training activities under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA)
of 1998. This Act provides for the delivery of services
through the one-stop JobLink Career Center service delivery
system. This system is customer focused for both employers
and job seekers. WIA also provides for:
- Streamlining
of services through the establishment of the One Stop Career
Centers
-
The empowerment of individuals through information and access
to training resources
- Universal
access to core employment related services
-
Increased accountability for results
-
A strong role for the Cape Fear Workforce Development Board
and the private sector in the workforce investment system
-
Facilitating state and local flexibility; and
-
Improving youth programs by linking more closely to local
labor market needs and community youth programs; and by
emphasizing strong connections between academic and occupational
learning.
