The Governor's Council on Workforce Investment (CWI) is the federally-mandated entity under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) that assists the governor in developing innovative and dynamic approaches to develop Wisconsin's workforce. The Council is charged with aiding Wisconsin employers in finding the workers they need and providing resources to enable workers to access training for in-demand careers with the ultimate goal of moving Wisconsin's economy forward. Members include a majority of business leaders, as well as state legislators and local elected officials, representatives from educational institutions, community-based organizations, and labor representatives from throughout the state.
