Current Narrative:
In 2020, the Arkansas Workforce Development Board commissioned a comprehensive WIOA Systems Evaluation, Skills Gap Analysis, and series of Customer Service Surveys. This evaluation was conducted to assist the State in ensuring the ongoing development of its workforce development system. Although this evaluation was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. we still believe that it provides a roadmap towards systemic changes and improvements needed for the entire system. Throughout this State Plan, we have included results of this evaluative effort.
