The California Workforce Association is the champion of the state's 45 local workforce boards — amplifying their voice, equipping them to act, and connecting them to one another, so every community can put its people to work.
We're the connective tissue of California's workforce system — carrying the field's voice outward and building its capacity inward, so 45 local boards can do their best work.
We bring our members' stories and needs to the people who shape policy and funding — so California's boards speak with one credible, coordinated voice, and decision-makers act on it.
We translate policy into plain-language action, move resources to where they're needed most, and build the capacity boards need to meet whatever comes next.
We convene boards and partners — traditional and nontraditional alike — to learn from one another, solve shared problems, and shape what comes next. No board works alone.
