North Carolina Association of Workforce Development Boards

Thank you to the National Association of Workforce Boards for coming out to New Bern, North Carolina!!

Workforce development leaders from across the Southeast gathered in Atlanta recently for a meeting convened by the U.S. Department of Labor Region 3. Among the delegation from North Carolina's workforce system were Anna London, President & CEO of Charlotte Works, DWS Assistant Secretary Andrea DeSantis, and Rivers East Workforce Development Board Director Jennie Bowen, who caught up with DWS retiree and U.S. Department of Labor senior advisor Myra Beatty. London participated in a panel discussion, "The Local Board's Perspective on Partnerships with the State," in which local workforce board leaders shared their perspectives on the importance of partnership and provided best practices showing the value of key relationships with state and federal stakeholders. We are pleased to be able to work with partners like these! #NCWorks North Carolina Department of Commerce North Carolina Association of Workforce Development Boards

#ICYMI: Last month, over FOUR HUNDRED people attended the Statewide Summit on Suicide Prevention. Hosted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, various community leaders and healthcare professionals gathered to discuss the accomplishments of the "Our State, Our Wellbeing" initiative. This program was designed to identify and implement strategies to improve #mentalhealth and reduce the number of suicides in #NorthCarolina. More information can be found on their website below. Also, a reminder that if you or someone you know is dealing with suicidal thoughts, we encourage calling 988 for the suicide and crisis lifeline that is available 24/7.

Thank you to those in the NCWorks of Davidson County for all that you do!! #workforcedevelopment #NorthCarolina

😎 ☀ No need to say "#ICYMI" because all North Carolinians know how hot it has been lately. The U.S. Department of Labor has released a proposed rule that would require employers to develop an injury and illness prevention plan to control heat hazards in workplaces affected by excessive heat. The public will be invited to comment in the coming days. This is part of #OSHA's 2022 program that emphasizes being aware of heat related workplace risks. #workforcedevelopment Occupational Safety and Health Administration #heatrisk
