Victor Valley College president appointed to Workforce Investment Board

The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday appointed Victor Valley College President Dr. Robert Silverman to the Workforce Investment Board.

The Workforce Investment Board is a public-private entity that identifies the needs of local employers, creates training programs and prepares residents to work in those industries.  It also provides job placement, job search, career counseling, resume writing and interview training services at the county's three employment resource centers in addition to providing assistance to businesses at its Business Resource Centers.

"Given the versatile role of a community college in preparing young adults for future careers, having Dr. Silverman on the Workforce Investment Board is a natural fit," said First District Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt in a news release.

"I'm very honored to receive this appointment and I have always been committed to workforce development and the WIB.  I look forward to working with everyone to ensure the residents and businesses in our County receive the best benefits possible from these programs," Silverman said.
