The Gulf Coast Workforce Board

Serving the 13 county Houston-Galveston region, the Gulf Coast Workforce Board is the local board of directors for Workforce Solutions. The Board is business-led and community focused, with approximately 50 members representing private sector business, education, organized labor, and community-based organizations. With participation from the region's chief local elected officials, the Workforce Board sets the strategic direction for the regional workforce system and guides the area's workforce agenda focusing on four key results:

1. Competitive employers
2. An educated workforce
3. More and better jobs
4. Higher incomes 

The Board contracts for the operations of its affiliate Workforce Solutions, which delivers service directly to employers and individuals.

Our entire system works to provide individuals, students, parents, teachers and counselors with up-to-date and useful information on careers of the future - focusing on the high-skill, high-growth jobs that provide opportunities for growth and good wages.
