LA Governor’s Office of the Workforce Commission
The Louisiana Workforce Commission, established by legislative act in 1997, serves as the human resource investment council for the State and has been designated as the State Workforce Investment Board within the meaning of the Federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998. The Commission's membership, selected by the governor, consist of 25 representatives from Louisiana business, labor, education, and public service communities.
The Louisiana Workforce Commission recognizes that work is basic to both economic prosperity and personal dignity. Thus, the Commission envisions a workforce development system that focuses on businesses that need skilled workers and on workers, current and future, who need education and training for jobs. Work has moral importance. The renewal of our state depends upon the renewal of our workforce system.
