Agency: Workforce Services Function The Department of Workforce Services (DWS) integrates job placement, job training, public assistance, child care, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as Food Stamps), medical assistance, unemployment insurance and labor market information as well as housing and community development programs. The mission of the Department of Workforce Services is "to strengthen Utah's economy by supporting the economic stability and quality of our workforce."
To accomplish its mission, the department is organized into nine "Economic Service Areas" that covers the entire state and contains four main divisions--Unemployment Insurance, Eligibility Services, Workforce Development, and Housing and Community Development. Additionally, the department contains the Workforce Research & Analysis (WRA) group that provides analysis and reports necessary for DWS to carry out its mission. Prior to integrating its services DWS had 106 locations, but now has 43 facilities throughout the state, including 34 employment centers and four call centers. On July 1, 2012, the Division of Housing and Community Development (HCD) was moved to DWS. The Division of Housing and Community Development enhances quality of life for Utah citizens through community infrastructure, affordable housing and development programs. The Department also contains several programs that provide services to citizens. Some of the major programs include: Family Employment Program (FEP), Child Care, General Assistance, Unemployment Insurance (UI), and Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP, also known as Food Stamps). DWS also coordinates eligibility determination for Medicaid and CHIP applicants. Statutory Authority UCA 35A creates the Department of Workforce Services, regional workforce service areas, and employment and apprenticeship programs as well as housing and community development programs. Performance One key indicator of performance at DWS is rates of closure with employment indicating that a client obtains work.
