The Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board (MAWIB) is a public/private partnership between government and business that plans, administers and coordinates employment and training programs for adults and youth in Milwaukee County. As a workforce development board, MAWIB creates and manages a focused education, training and employment system that involves local educators, prospective training operators, area employers, job seekers and employees.

One of MAWIB’s goals is to maintain a workforce system that is flexible, seamless and responsive to the dual needs of job seekers and employers. The board is committed to supporting Milwaukee county residents in their search for economic self-sufficiency, and supporting local businesses by collaborating with them to create a talent pipeline for a knowledge-based economy.
