Part A: Strategic Elements
Mission & Governance
A description of the Board’s strategic vision to support regional economic growth and economic self-sufficiency. The
description must include:
a. goals for preparing an educated and skilled workforce, youth and individuals with barriers to
employment; and
b. goals relating to the performance accountability measures based on performance indicators described in
WIOA §116(b)(2)(A).
WFSCB meets its mission by collaborating with industry, education, economic development and labor to
develop a comprehensive regional workforce strategic plan to develop a trainable and available workforce;
and provide workforce-relevant education and training opportunities for youth and individuals with barriers to
employment throughout the Coastal Bend region.
The 34 member Board of Directors represent the public and key stakeholders in the community, and are
selected by the 13 member Chief Elected Officials (CEO) Council, including each County Judge and the
Mayor of Corpus Christi. Fifty-one percent (51%) of the Board membership represents private industry. The
remaining membership includes representation from adult basic & continuing education partners, economic
development, and other local non-profit organizations. This comprehensive group of community leaders
ensures WFSCB continues to serve the needs of both employers and job seekers throughout the Coastal
Bend region.
Ken Trevino, President/CEO is an active board and committee member for numerous local organizations,
including the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce, the Mayor’s Interagency Council, Corpus Christi
Regional Economic Development Corporation, Regional P-16 Council, numerous non-profit organizations
and continues to elevate the relevance of Workforce Solutions’ vast array of employment and education-
related services to job seekers and employers in the region.
Adopting a “Crayons to Careers” planning model, WFSCB seeks out opportunities to partner with local
education institutions and organizations to provide age-appropriate, work-based learning experiences from
pre-kindergarten through higher education. The Quality Childcare program curriculum and Coastal Compass
Education & Career Resource Center are spectacular examples of how work-based learning and local labor
market information are made available to the current and future workforce locally.
