Region 4 Workforce Board - WIOA Local Plan - PUBLIC Comment
The WIOA Local Plan is the primary vehicle for communicating the Local Board’s vision for the local workforce system. WIOA requires Local Boards to develop and submit a comprehensive four-year local plan to the State for approval. WIOA requires the local Workforce Development Board (WDB) to review its local plan and submit plan modifications at the end of the second year of the four-year plan. The plan must address current and future strategies and efficiencies to advance the continuing modernization of the workforce system and the creation of a customer-centered system.
