Employer Resources
Golden Sierra Workforce Investment Board (WIB)
The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) reformed federal job training programs and created a new comprehensive approach providing workforce investment activities through state and local systems. At the local level, the Governor of California designated a local Workforce Investment Board to oversee and coordinate the activities of the various local partners in the One-Stop System. Consisting of a majority of business and industry leaders, the WIB also has educational, community and economic development representation.
Employer Advisory Councils
Employer Advisory Councils (EACs) are formed in local areas to develop stronger partnerships between the California Employment Development Department (EDD) and the business community. EAC members are a cross-section of local employer who join with EDD staff in doing business more effectively and efficiently. This could include workshops and monthly meetings depending on needs and requests from employers. In Placer County there are presently two EAC associations; which cover the Roseville, Rocklin and Lincoln employer community and the Auburn/Grass Valley community.
