About Workforce Boards
Workforce Investment Boards were created under a 1998 federal law called the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), mandated to create a workforce development system that meets the needs of employers for qualified workers and increases employment opportunities for residents.

The River Valley Workforce Investment Board
plays a key role in the economic development of Kane, Kendall and DeKalb Counties.
Bringing together a myriad of employment, training and educational services, the Board provides a comprehensive and easily accessed system that supports the development of a skilled, well-qualified workforce.  Please click HERE to view information and documents regarding the Board and KCDEE`s Incumbent Worker Training Grant Program.
