The GWB consists of 21 members representing business, labor, education, community, and government who establish workforce development policy and plans and also allocate state Job Development Funds (JDF). GWB members also serve as the SWIB to oversee federal Workforce Investment Act Title I-B funds.The GWB determines funding priorities for the JDF and allocates annual funds accordingly. The GWB currently allocates funding into several broad categories: funds for employers through incumbent worker training grants and industry partnership support; funds for youth centers and summer youth employment; funds for work readiness, work experience, occupational skills training, and hiring incentives for unemployed and under-employed workers; and funds to increase workforce system capacity and integration. Since 2009, the legislature has also appropriated JDF funds directly to the RI Department of Education to support adult education services. Mike Grey was appointed Chairman of the Board in June 2016 by Governor Gina Raimondo.http://www.gwb.ri.gov/ Show less
