Mission: To support a system that will provide employers with a skilled workforce and will provide job seekers with access to jobs with increased earnings potential.
Vision: The Workforce Investment Board will be a leader in community collaboration to promote a dynamic, high skill/high wage economy in South Central Missouri through development of its workforce and workplaces.
Each local area within the state is required to have a Workforce Investment Board. Our area is referred to as the South Central Region and includes the twelve counties of Butler, Carter, Douglas, Howell, Oregon, Ozark, Reynolds, Ripley, Shannon, Texas, Wayne and Wright. The Local Board is appointed by the area's Chief Elected Official and is certified by the Governor. The Governor is also responsible for establishing the criteria for use by the chief elected official in appointing the Local Board members. There are 13 separate workforce regions in Missouri. The South Central Workforce Investment Board (SCWIB) serves as the fiscal agent, appointed by the CLEO, to manage grant funds. The SCWIB operates Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth Programs. The SCWIB also serves as the One Stop Operator and is responsible for the comprehensive Job Centers located in Poplar Bluff and West Plains.
