p. 1. B. Describe the factors that impeded the achievement of the goals and priorities
Current Narrative:
While progress was made and goals were achieved, MRS experienced the following factors that impacted specific goals or priorities:
Priority 1: Actively seek resources to capture full federal award
- Cuts to State appropriated funds used as non-Federal share for purposes of match.
Priority 4: Implementation of the WIOA. (d) alignment with the workforce core program
- Lack of a uniform method and means to collect and share data between WIOA core programs.
- WIOA core programs under the organizational and administrative control of different state departments.
- The transfer of WIOA core programs to a newly created State department.
MRS continues to build and carryout strategies to respond to these and other issues.
