About SC Works Catawba


The Catawba Workforce Development region was created by a consortium agreement between the three counties of Chester, Lancaster, and York. Each of the three counties is responsible for the appointment of members to the Catawba Regional Workforce Development Act Board. The WBA is a volunteer group of citizens from local business, labor, education, and economic development and community organizations and has policy oversight for all activities under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.
