Pima County Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Four Year Plan
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act ("WIOA") of 2014, Public Law ("Pub. L. 113–128"), reauthorizes the Workforce Investment Act ("WIA") of 1998. WIOA provides the opportunity to align “workforce investment, education and economic development systems in support of a comprehensive, accessible, high–quality workforce development system in the United States.”
During the past several years the Pima County WIB has worked to create an innovative and comprehensive workforce development system to meet the needs of its growing population. With the implementation of WIOA, Arizona and Pima County now have the perfect opportunity to create positive change that will improve the workforce development system as a whole.
The Pima County Local Workforce Development Plan for 2020-2023 ("Local Plan"), as required by WIOA Section 102 (29 U.S.C. 3112), was available for Public Comment from Friday, June 12 to Friday, June 26, 2020. An email notification was sent to key stakeholders on June 12, 2020. The Public Notice was published in the June 12, 2020 issue of the Daily Territorial to announce the Public Comment period for the Plan.
The Local Plan 2020-2023 was developed with involvement from the Local Chief Elected Official ("LCEO") who is the Chair of the Pima County Board of Supervisors along with the WIB, and key stakeholders.
The Local Plan was approved by the Pima County WIB during their June 5, 2020 monthly meeting. The Pima County Board of Supervisors approved the Plan during their June 23, 2020 Regular Meeting. The Local Plan was due to the Arizona Governor's State Workforce Development Board, referred to as the Workforce Arizona Council (WAC), on July 1, 2020.
The WIOA requires that the WIB, in partnership with the LCEO, must review, prepare, and submit the Local Plan as a component of Pima County’s ongoing efforts to promote economic development, job growth, higher wages, and increased wealth within our region.
The Local Plan was available
for public comment including comment from key stakeholders such as the WIB; public and private businesses; the public; labor organizations; educational institutions; and government, economic and community organizations. The outcome resulting from review of public comments were posted online after the comment period and one comment was received.
