Cumberlands WIB a High Impact Workforce Investment Board Cumberlands Workforce Investment Board, serving Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, Laurel, McCreary, Pulaski, Russell, Taylor, Wayne, and Whitley Counties of Kentucky, has been designated High Impact Workforce Investment Board status FRANKFORT, KY (Friday, March 14, 2014) - Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Secretary Thomas O. Zawacki announced today that Cumberlands Workforce Investment Board has been certified as a High Impact Workforce Investment Board (WIB). The High Impact WIB initiative, launched by the Kentucky Workforce Investment Board (KWIB) and the cabinet in 2010, encourages local boards to strive for excellence and be innovative leaders in workforce development in the community. "We commend the Cumberlands Workforce Investment Board for achieving High Impact WIB status, and we look forward to certifying others in the future," said Secretary Zawacki. "Attaining High Impact WIB status shows that a local board is going above and beyond the requirements of the federal government and is implementing strategic action plans to improve the local workforce and economy." Under this voluntary certification program, the local boards may choose to seek high impact status by applying for the designation, undergoing a review by a team of experts and meeting standards for strategic planning, developing and managing resources, and managing the work of the board. There are a total of 10 local WIBs in Kentucky. Local WIBs are made up of local business, community and government leaders that work together to strengthen the region's workforce and economy. In 2009, Gov. Steve Beshear directed KWIB to develop a plan to make the system more globally competitive. The result was WorkSmart Kentucky, the KWIB's strategic plan to streamline the system to simplify it and build consistency among offices; improve services to the client customers; align education and training to meet the needs of employers; and make adjustments to reflect the state's education objectives and economic development strategies and goals. High Impact WIBs is one of 25 strategic initiatives in WorkSmart Kentucky designed to modernize the workforce development system. "We congratulate Cumberlands Workforce Investment Board for their hard work and collaboration with local partners in reaching High Impact WIBs status," said KWIB Chair Ed Holmes. "By developing and reaching measurable goals, the board is demonstrating a desire to lead in local economic and workforce growth." Daryl W. Smith, project champion for High Impact WIBs and economic development project manager at LG&E and KU Energy LLC, applauds Cumberlands Workforce Investment Board for making a commitment to the long-term economic success of their communities. "Cumberlands Workforce Investment Board members want to be leaders in improving their workforce and economy so they have made a commitment to becoming the best board possible," said Smith. "They have established a baseline by evaluating their roles and responsibilities and have set goals for improvement so they can help their communities become economically stronger and more productive."
