Current Narrative:
For the continuing training and development of outreach workers, state or national professional development opportunities will be attended by State merit staff outreach workers within the limits of available resources. These continuing training and development opportunities for State merit staff outreach workers will take advantage of statewide WIOA related trainings, employee continuing education and other related training/informational events which will benefit their knowledge and skills.
ADWS will take full advantage of the wealth of training and information provided by the Workforce GPS website. We will implement a minimum number of training hours per year for this staff.
