Pocono Counties Workforce Development Area

The Pocono Counties Workforce Development Board (WDB) is comprised of private-sector business, social service, education, labor, economic development and community-based organization representatives. The purpose of the Board is to provide strategic oversight, direction, and focus to the employment and training services provided to residents and employers of the 4 counties that comprise the Pocono Counties Workforce Development Area (WDA) – Carbon, Monroe, Pike, and Wayne Counties. The Workforce Development Board’s vision is to support regional economic growth and self-reliance through a comprehensive network of service locations, employment and training services, and strategic partnerships with the region’s employment, educational, economic development, and labor organizations. The economic future of our Workforce Development Area is dependent on a workforce that is globally competitive and aligned with the skills needed by the employer community within our local and regional labor markets.
