Visalia Economic Development Corporation

At the local level, the Workforce Investment Board of Tulare County (WIB) is responsible for investing Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds to connect Tulare County job seekers to employment and training opportunities. This is done through Employment Connection Centers, the youth@work program, and other special grants and projects.

​At our core, we believe: Too many people are unemployed or in low-wage jobs that don't sustain their families, and too many businesses have high-quality jobs that go unfilled.

Our goal at the WIB is to bridge the gap between job seekers and employers.
Job seekers receive services at the four Employment Connection Centers and the rural service locations throughout the county.
Job seeker services include:
- Career Coaching
- Training & Scholarships
- Hiring Events and Job Leads
- Job Preparation Workshops
- Public Resource Rooms

The WIB Business Services team provides valuable resources and tools to Tulare County businesses, including:
- Employee Training
- Subsidized Employment
- Restructuring and Downsizing Support
- Recruitment Assistance
- Labor Market Information
- Free Human Resources Hotline
