Clallam, Jefferson and Kitsap Counties form a consortium and were designated by the Governor as a Workforce Investment Area under the Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014. The consortium's purpose is to plan, establish, and operate a comprehensive employment and training system.
The Board works with the Olympic Workforce Development Council to guide policy and provide oversight for local job training activities. The Kitsap County Department of Human Services is the consortium's administrative entity and provides staff support to the Board.
The Olympic Consortium Board was created as the executive body of the OWDC.
