Explain How the State Board Will Assist the Governor in Aligning Technology and Data Systems Across Required One-stop Partner Programs (including Design and Implementation of Common Intake, Data Collection, Etc.) and How Such Alignment Will Improve Service Delivery to Individuals, Including Unemployed Individuals.

Current Narrative:

The state uses technology to assist with data collection across the mandatory one-stop career center partner programs. Most mandatory program data are captured and shared extensively between three systems using a strong federated architecture. Partners intend to continue this direction by extending it to one-stop career center partner programs. Technologies from real-time web services to real-time database interfaces are used. As it evolves, this will allow workforce assistance experts to see and assess the needs of job seekers including the unemployed, TANF, SNAP, VR and Adult Education program participants. New partners will have access to the same streamlined services under one roof in addition to the new partners bringing their product lines to the partnership. All participants will have access to the labor exchange and labor market information systems.
