Important Message: Our Lehigh Valley workforce system that supports every Lehigh Valley business is being threatened. We need a moment of your time. Major funding cuts are looming which would eliminate the training of your current and future employees. WIB will not be able to provide services to job seekers nor employers in need of skilled workers.

If you have questions, please contact The Chamber's Executive VP of Government & External Affairs, Michelle Griffin Young. Thank you!
