Developing and maintaining a high quality workforce is critical to attracting and retaining business in Erie County. It is the charge of the Buffalo and Erie County Workforce Investment Board to develop and sustain a unified cost effective, labor market system that facilitates economic development and business growth in our community.

As the WIB Chairperson, a business person and an active member of our community, I am excited about the high quality of information and services that our workforce system provides. Our system, known as WorkSourceOne, is user friendly and is highly responsive to the needs of both the individual training/job applicant and/or the business seeking assistance. 

WorkSourceOne is a partnership of local businesses, government, education, labor and human services agencies working together to provide a one-stop approach to the delivery of workforce development services. Through this partnership, over twenty separate, local, federal and state employment, education and training programs are now available through a single point of contact under one roof. These “One-Stop Service Centers” are conveniently located throughout Erie County.

I believe the best is yet to come! Through continued collaboration with our partners we will continue to streamline operations, eliminate duplication in the workforce system and ultimately develop a seamless system that will benefit all of our community.
