The Arkansas Workforce Development Board is appointed by the governor and serves as a convener of state, regional, and local workforce system partners to enhance the capacity and performance of the workforce development system; align and improve employment, training and education programs; and, through these efforts promote economic growth.
The TANF Oversight Committee is a sub-committee of the Arkansas Workforce Development Board and is responsible for seeking ways to continuously improve the Transitional Employment Assistance (TEA) program and engage the resources of government, business, faith-based, and community organizations in order to empower Arkansas’ TEA recipients and low-income families to achieve long-term self-sufficiency and improved quality of life.
The TANF Oversight Committee will also develop measures and benchmarks to gauge the progress of the TEA program, the Arkansas Work Pays program, the Career Pathways Initiative, the Community Investment Initiative, as well as other TANF initiatives.
The focus of the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services is to provide individuals the tools they need to enhance and sustain their employability. And, through the education and skills training offered to job seekers, employers are reducing hidden costs associated with lost production time and turnover rates by hiring qualified workers.
Products and services can be categorized into three main groups: Unemployment Insurance; Employment Assistance (Job Seeker services and Employer services); and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. ADWS offers these services at Arkansas Workforce Centers located throughout the state.
ADWS continues to build effective partnerships with other organizations to better serve customers. Through these partnerships, ADWS and its partners are able to leverage each other’s core competencies and resources.
Because the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services is a state agency, it does not earn a profit and does not measure success by business growth and expansion. The agency is unique from other Arkansas state agencies in that it is 99 percent federally funded with taxpayer dollars.
