The mission of the North Central Wisconsin Workforce Development Board (NCWWDB) is to lead, support, and sustain the development and retention of a skilled, competitive workforce which meets the changing needs of regional employers and promotes economic growth in a global economy. 

Created by the Federal Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act, (WIOA) workforce development boards oversee the design and delivery of locally customized job training programs and workforce development initiatives. NCWWDB is one of eleven Boards in Wisconsin. A majority of Board members, as well as the Board Chairman, are representatives from the private sector. Other Board members represent education, labor, and community-based organizations. NCWWDB serves nine counties: Adams, Forest, Langlade, Lincoln, Oneida, Marathon, Portage, Vilas, and Wood.

NCWWDB is uniquely structured to guide workforce development in the region by: Engaging and connecting local employers, educators, and community organizations to more effectively align workforce resources; identifying, obtaining, and directing resources toward skilling, re-skilling, and building a future pipeline of workers to meet regional demands; identifying and disseminating regional labor market data and trends which impact short-term and long-term development of a skilled labor pool; overseeing publicly-funded WIOA programs and the One-Stop Job Centers in the region.
