CHEYENNE—The Wyoming Workforce Development Council (WWDC) invites you to its upcoming quarterly meeting at the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services. Join us on Nov. 6 from 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. and Nov. 7 from 8 a.m. – noon for an insightful discussion on the future of Wyoming’s workforce.

Key items on the agenda include the WWDC contracts for 2025, a discussion of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) partners’ memorandum of understanding process, and a look at additional labor market information. Attendees will also hear about several impactful initiatives or programs:

  • WIOA programs administered by the Department of Workforce Services

Following the meeting, WWDC is hosting an in-person WIOA Partners in Progress Summit. This collaborative event is designed to elevate Wyoming’s workforce. We’ll dive into three key discussions:

  • What is your organization currently doing to support job seekers or businesses?
  • How do you envision expanding your services for greater impact?
  • What gaps exist in connecting job seekers to businesses, and how can we work together to bridge them?

This event will be held Nov. 7 from 1:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. at the Department of Workforce Services, 5221 Yellowstone Road, Cheyenne.
