Department of Planning and Development
Overview
The Lucas County Department of Planning and Development provides services that are targeted to provide services to employers as well as to job seekers. The Agency coordinates, facilitates, and documents the activities of the one-stop system: a partnership of government, non-profit, and private sector workforce and economic development organizations.
Agency staff work in cooperation with these service providers to help job-seekers find quality employment, employed workers find better jobs, and businesses to find skilled and job-ready employees. The Agency serves the universal customer: all job-seekers, from entry-level to executive level, and small businesses to major corporations.
The Lucas County Workforce Development Board is the executive decision-making body that helps guide the activities of the Department. The Workforce Development Board is comprised of leaders from business, economic development, education, labor, and other community-based organizations.
