Its structure is driven by federal legislation, the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 plain language version ), even though appropriations for that program are not the largest source of revenue for employment and training services in Kansas.

By design, the Board is an advisory body consisting of 35 members appointed by the Governor. WIA mandates the ideal state workforce investment board membership structure. Over fifty percent of the membership of the Board must come from private industry. The balance of the board members represent government, education, community based organizations and labor. The Board meets five times each year, rotating the location of their meetings between the five Local Workforce Investment Areas Much of the work of the Board is accomplished through task forces. Task force membership typically consists of Board members and representatives from state and local agencies. Currently, the
