The Oakland Workforce Development Board (OWDB) mobilizes leaders from business, economic development, education, labor, community-based organizations, and public agencies to align resources and investments for residents who need assistance with developing skills that help expand access to high-quality jobs and careers offering income mobility.
The OWDB's desired equitable outcome is for
all Oaklanders to have economic security and equitable access to workforce development services.
The OWDB is in the process of developing its 2021-24 Local Plan, which describes how the OWDB will use its funding. As part this process, OWDB is holding public meetings and using a survey to collect community input.
