History:
The Workforce Investment Act established  workforce investment boards and charged them with policy making and governance of workforce investment and development activities in defined areas to ensure that investments are locally driven.  In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, there are 67 counties and 22 established Workforce Investment Boards.

Locally:
The Bucks County Board of Commissioners appoint the Bucks County Workforce Investment Board, Inc. members, selecting these dedicated volunteers who commit their time and talents to strengthening our local workforce.

Membership Composition:
The BC-WIB, in accordance with the Workforce Investment Act, is comprised of 51% private sector (employer/business) members, at least two representatives of local educational entities, labor organizations, community-based organizations, and economic development agencies and PA CareerLink Bucks County Partners and investors.
