Current Narrative:

Florida’s strategic vision for WIOA implementation will be realized by accomplishing these three goals:

  • Enhance alignment and market responsiveness of workforce, education, and economic development systems through improved service integration that provides businesses with skilled, productive, and competitive talent. This enhanced alignment will also provide all Floridians with employment, education, training, and support services that reduce welfare dependence and increase opportunities for self-sufficiency, high-skill and high-wage careers and lifelong learning. These opportunities will be available for all Floridians, including those with barriers to employment, including but not limited to displaced homemakers, individuals with disabilities, youth, English language learners, and veterans.
  • Promote accountable, transparent, and data-driven workforce investment though performance measures, monitoring, and evaluation that informs strategies, drives operational excellence, leads to the identification and replication of best practices and empowers an effective and efficient workforce delivery system.
  • Improve career exploration, educational attainment and skills training for in-demand industries and occupations for Florida youth that lead to enhanced employment, career development, credentialing, and post-secondary education opportunities.
