CRAFTING A MASTER PLAN
We create a workforce development plan that aligns all our resources have towards common goals. Think of it as a roadmap for success.
RESEARCHING OUR REGION'S ECONOMY
We roll up our sleeves and continually analyze the economic conditions in our region, helping us make informed decisions.
BRINGING EVERYONE TO THE TABLE
We bring together a diverse group of stakeholders and pool our resources for maximum impact.
CONNECTING WITH EMPLOYERS
BUILDING INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS
We build strong partnerships within various industries, which is key to our region's growth.
CREATING CAREER PATHWAYS
We work on developing clear pathways for careers, helping individuals find the right opportunities.
PROMOTING BEST PRACTICES
We are constantly on the lookout for the best ways to do things and make sure we're using and sharing them.
SELECTING SERVICE PROVIDERS
We carefully select who gets to provide services through the one-stop system.
We're not only responsible for developing the budget for the use of WIOA funding, but also to monitor and audit those programs and partners, making sure they're effective.
COORDINATING EDUCATION
DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGY
We create tech-driven strategies to enhance our local workforce development system's efficiency and effectiveness, benefiting employers, workers, and job seekers.
OVERSEEING PROGRAMS
Working alongside the local elected official, we oversee youth workforce programs, employment and training efforts, and the local one-stop service. This encompasses managing WIOA funds effectively to maximize performance outcomes.
NEGOTIATING PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Along with the local elected official and the Governor, we collaborate to negotiate and agree on local performance standards.
ASSESSING ACCESSIBILITY
MAINTAIN CERTIFICATION
Every two years, the Governor certifies one local board for each local area in the state. This certification is based on established criteria taking into account our success in meeting performance goals & maintaining fiscal integrity in workforce investment activities.
We also coordinate educational activities, including adult education and literacy programs. Education is a big part of workforce development.
Engaging a wide range of employers is a big part of our job, ensuring we're addressing the needs of our local businesses.
We conduct an annual assessment of the physical and program accessibility of all local one-stop centers, ensuring compliance with relevant laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act.
