Workforce Development Boards (WDBs) • West Virginia’s Workforce Development Boards (WDBs) are regional partners that connect SNAP E&T with the broader workforce system. They help ensure that E&T services are aligned with local labor market needs, support participants through training and employment activities, and coordinate resources across workforce and education programs. In SNAP E&T, WDBs primarily act as regional coordinators and connectors, expanding opportunities for participants while avoiding duplication of services. All 7 regional Workforce Development Boards are contracted with WV SNAP E&T to provide case management services to all E&T participants.
