Current Narrative:

It is imperative that the workforce system be uniformly aligned with the economic developers in a particular area and consistent measure of success across regions.  In order to maximize workforce resources and create a nimble and responsive system, the regional workforce system has been aligned with economic development and community partners.  This alignment between workforce services, economic development, and community partners has been achieved through both coordinated regional planning and regional industry alliances.  This effort ties together regional metrics — measures of success - that share commonality between workforce and economic efforts and are also comparable across different regions.
