Illinois Workforce Innovation Board
Illinois Workforce Innovation Board
We provide businesses with sustainable, no-cost, low-cost strategies to recruit, hire, train, and retain a skilled workforce needed to thrive.
What is the IWIB?
The Illinois Workforce Innovation Board (IWIB) brings together leaders from government, business, labor, education, and community organizations, all appointed by the Governor, to ensure that Illinois has the talent it needs for both today and the future.
The IWIB oversees the development, execution, and periodic updates of the
Illinois WIOA State Plan PY2024-2027
. By convening all required programs and partners, the Board provides strategic oversight for Illinois's workforce development system.
Through standing committees and workgroups, IWIB members from both the private and public sectors review policies, gather feedback from partner organizations and the public, and deliver recommendations that enhance our state's workforce ecosystem.
The IWIB Strategic Planning Framework, outlined in the
2025 IWIB Strategic Plan Booklet
, aligns workforce programs, educational initiatives, and economic development across Illinois. It sets clear objectives and priority actions, calling on IWIB to collaborate closely with Local Workforce Innovation Boards and other partners to achieve better outcomes for both businesses and job seekers.
