Workforce Development Boards

About New York's Workforce Development Boards

NYATEP is proud to represent all 33 workforce development boards across New York. As designated by the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA), Workforce Development Boards develop strategies that guide regional efforts in ensuring workers have the skills they need to fill the jobs businesses create, as well as advocate for higher wages for workers, larger profits for businesses and stronger communities for all.
