Current Narrative:

The Department of Workforce Development and the Bureau of Rehabilitative Services will work in conjunction with the Indiana Career Council, the State Workforce Innovation Council, Workforce Development Boards, and other partners and stakeholders to implement the strategies identified above. Strategic planning Goal 1 and the respective strategies and implementation activities for that goal speak to how Indiana will align activities across partner programs.

The Core partners and the following state representatives of the mandatory partners meet regularly throughout 2016 to assess alignment and coordination of activities described (A) above: Career and Technical Education (Perkins) post-secondary, Local Veterans’ Employment Representatives and Disabled Veterans’ Outreach Program, Senior Community Service Employment Program, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Trade Adjustment Assistance Programs, and Unemployment Compensation Programs. Indiana also includes child welfare and corrections in the meetings.

During 2017 DWD was focused on implementing many aspects of WIOA, including Infrastructure costs negotiation processes and agreements, one stop operator RFPs, regional performance negotiations, one stop operator certifications, etc. During quarter two of 2018, DWD and VR will focus on re-instating the Core partner meetings. Indiana will be adding the missing mandatory partners to the meeting to ensure alignment and coordination of the goal 1 strategies.
