Partners reviewed progress towards implementation of the 2020 WIOA Combined State Plan and noted successes, challenges, and changes. Updates to this plan are from findings in meetings of Idaho’s WIOA Advisory Group and One-Stop Committee, along with ongoing input from employers, workforce partners, state agencies, and others. Core and partner program staff continually meet to explore and enhance best practices for providing job seekers employment and employers well-trained candidates.</p>
