Panhandle Workforce Development Board ⋆ Workforce Solutions Panhandle

The efforts of the Workforce Development programs are overseen by a 27-member board of business and community leaders and a group of seven local elected officials. The Panhandle Regional Planning Commission serves as the administrative and fiscal agent for these two entities and is responsible for over $13 million in annual funding provided by the Texas Workforce Commission, Texas Veterans Commission, and local governments.

The Panhandle Workforce Development Board is a business-led group, the majority of which is comprised of employers from the private sector, as well as representatives from community-based organizations, labor, economic development, secondary and post-secondary education, adult and continuing education, literacy, vocational rehabilitation, public employment services, and the State Department of human services. The Panhandle Workforce Development Board is appointed by local elected officials and oversees workforce program services provided in our 26-county region.
