The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires local workforce development boards (LWDBs) and chief elected officials to engage in an integrated regional and local workforce planning process to prepare, submit, and obtain approval of a single collaborative regional plan that incorporates local plans for each of the local areas within the given workforce planning region. These plans serve as four-year action plans to develop, align, and integrate service delivery strategies to support the Commonwealth’s vision, strategic and operational goals.
The Southwest Planning Region is releasing our WIOA Regional and Local Plans for a 30-day public comment period. The effective date for these plans will be July 1, 2025. Comments regarding the Local and Regional Plans should be sent to policy@partner4work.org by May 30, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. EST.
