The SETC partners with business, employers and job seekers, organized labor, and state and county agencies to set policy, develop plans and evaluate system performance to enhance the workforce for the economic viability of New Jersey.

The SETC identifies and analyzes critical issues relating to workforce readiness and provides policy guidance to the Governor and to state professionals in the fields of employment, training and education; supports innovative programs that advance collaboration among governmental agencies; and, reports to the Governor on the progress that has been made and the issues that must be addressed in the area of employment, training and education.

The SETC, also referred to as the Commission, meets on a quarterly basis. The meetings are open to the public and are generally held in locations in central New Jersey.  Due to the recent pandemic, the Commission meetings are now being held online.
