The Workforce Investment Board is responsible for advising
the Governor on building a strong workforce development system aligned with
state education policies and economic development goals. In addition to legislators and members of the
Governor’s Cabinet, the Board also includes representatives of organized labor,
higher education, organizations that represent or provide services to trainees,
and multiple business and industry representatives.
“As a member of the Joint Committee on Economic Development
and Emerging Technologies, Representative Kelcourse has a clear understanding
of the many challenges facing employers and the type of job skills they are
looking for in their workers,” said Representative Jones. “I am confident he will bring a wealth of
real-world experience and expertise to the Workforce Investment Board as it
continues to find ways to better position Massachusetts to compete in a global
economy.”
Representative Kelcourse represents
the First Essex District, which
consists of Amesbury, Newburyport and Salisbury. A former Amesbury city councilor, he is
currently serving his first term in the Massachusetts Legislature.
