What started as a subcommittee of our board has grown to become a broader workforce initiative. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Workforce Development Providers Council (WPC) is comprised of 15 organizations that serve job seekers and businesses in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area. The WPC is an advisory committee to the Charlotte Works Workforce Development Board that provides leadership for local workforce development efforts and collaborates to develop talent, respond to business needs and ultimately increase economic opportunity. The names of our WPC partners are featured on this page.
