Baltimore, one of the nation’s most dynamic and vibrant cities, builds its economy by balancing and addressing the needs of businesses and workers. Through action and influence, by ensuring that businesses secure talented workers and that citizens build productive careers, the Mayoral-appointed Baltimore Workforce Investment Board (BWIB) creates a public workforce engine driving Baltimore toward sustained prosperity.

Our members, many who represent leading Baltimore employers and industries, are committed to serving as the “voice of business” by contributing to the local economy via promoting stronger linkages among workforce system stakeholders, identifying career pipelines within the city’s growth industries in an effort to match well-trained job seekers with employment opportunities and preparing Baltimore’s youth for college and career exploration. Our vision which spans beyond overseeing Workforce Investment Act funding, is founded on the basic premise of engaging local employers in a comprehensive strategy to match the City’s economic and workforce development initiatives.

We encourage you to learn more about the BWIB and to support workforce development.
