Current Narrative:
At the time of the 2017 Needs Assessment, DVR did not have good data on the needs of individuals who have been served through other components of the workforce development system. Since, 2017 DVR and VDOL have been working on data sharing strategies to look at consumers co-enrolled across programs and better assess the unmet needs. At the field level DVR and VDOL staff are routinely meeting and coordinating efforts to serve individuals across programs. In eight out of twelve locations DVR and DOL offices are either co-located or in the same building facilitating close coordination of services. DVR and VDOL management meet at least quarterly to make sure services are aligned and well coordinated.
