GRWDB Local Plan Public Forum
December 6, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
The Greater Raritan Workforce Development Board (GRWDB) invites community members, employers, residents, and public officials in Hunterdon and Somerset Counties to join a discussion about workforce services and programs for both counties. Input from attendees will help the GRWDB develop its 2023 workforce plan. The forum will be available to the public virtually and open for in-person attendance on Tuesday, Dec. 6, in Somerville.
Every four years, New Jersey’s 17 local workforce boards are required to write a Local Plan to help workforce boards better serve their clients. Each of the 17 Plans outlines workforce services and programs available to employers and job seekers and ways to collaborate and improve the system. The plan is developed based on local data trends and evaluations of existing services, along with input received from the public discussion. The deadline to submit the Local Plan to the state is spring 2023.
Conducting the public forum will be GRWDB staff. Attending the meeting will be members of the GRWDB full board and its five workforce committees, and local officials and residents. Any individuals and representatives from organizations can attend this public forum.
The public forum occurs on Monday, Dec. 6, from 12 to 2 p.m. in the first-floor conference room at 27 Warren St. in Somerville. A light lunch will be served at noon, followed by a presentation and discussion from 12:30 to 2 p.m. All attendees will receive a pre-meeting packet to review data sets for a robust conversation.
To register for in-person attendance or to attend virtually and receive a GoToMeeting link, send an email to info@thegrwdb.org. For more information, contact Grzella at 908-541-5790.
