Welcome to the Governor's Workforce Board RI
     

Since Governor Carcieri established the Governor’s Workforce Board in September 2005, the 17-member board has supported strategies to improve the existing skill base of the Rhode Island workforce and to anticipate the future needs of growing and emerging businesses. Since its inception, the Governor’s Workforce Board has made more than $56-million worth of strategic investments in Rhode Island that reward collaboration among the state’s employment, education and economic development entities.
