Agency: Workforce Services

Function

Created in 1997, the Department of Workforce Services (DWS), integrates job placement, job training, welfare, child care, food stamps, unemployment insurance and labor market information. Utah's integrated services and one-stop centers are national and international models.

The state is divided into five service regions and eight planning districts. The Department started with 106 locations. After integrating services, it has 51 locations, including 35 one-stop employment centers.

The Department has a federal maintenance-of-effort requirement to keep a specific level of General Fund in the budget. Any reduction below the specified amount could result in a total loss of federal funds. General Assistance is only one of several state-funded programs without maintenance of effort requirements.

The mission of Workforce Services is to provide employment and support services to customers to improve their economic opportunities.

Statutory Authority

Utah Workforce Services Code

Title 35A creates the Department of Workforce Services, regional workforce service areas, and employment and apprenticeship programs.
