Our Vision

To maintain and improve the economic vitality of the Ramsey County East Metropolitan Area by developing the best-trained, best-educated, and most highly skilled workforce.  



Our Mission

To meet the needs of both employers and job seekers by providing the most responsive, flexible, and comprehensive workforce preparation and employment system possible.  



Our Responsibilities

The WIB provides community leadership for workforce development in the Ramsey County area. The WIB also provides policy direction and program oversight to the implementation of Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Title I funded activities and has an advisory role only with respect to the Minnesota Family Investment Program, Employment Services (MFIP-ES).

Through the participation of high level business and community representatives, the WIB will work with Workforce Solutions (the county's workforce development department) to carry out a number of key functions. These include labor market research, studies of "best practices," and other activities that will ensure that the WIA Title I services, along with the coordinated services of the WIA partners, are targeted to the needs of the local economy. Also, the WIB will ensure that it develops and implements policies that are market driven, forward looking, customer driven, and implemented under an effective "continuous improvement" system. The WIB will review reports, set corrective action, and generally assume responsibility, with the Ramsey County Board, for the effective management of programs.
