Workforce Development Council

Colorado Workforce Development Council Logo

 

Below are the Mission and Vision of the Colorado Workforce Development Council (CWDC) as approved by the Council on February 16, 2011:

Vision:
Every Colorado business has access to a skilled workforce and every Coloradan has access to meaningful employment, resulting in statewide economic vitality.

Mission:
The mission of the Colorado Workforce Development Council is to create a business-focused workforce system that effectively helps to prepare Coloradans for the jobs of today and tomorrow. 
 
The Council accomplishes this by aligning the efforts of economic development, education/training, workforce development, government and business stakeholders at the local, regional and state levels. We convene partners, leverage resources and work to remove communication and regulatory barriers in order to help businesses create jobs, retain jobs and access a highly competitive workforce.
