Current Narrative:
The Council activities are carried out in four main categories: technology, policy, service delivery, and administration. These categories help ensure the State Board functions are effectively carried out by the Board members and staff by providing areas of focus for the Council’s committees. The activities mentioned below are ones the Council plans on doing in the next four years in addition to the current Council Endorsed projects (i.e. Arizona Career Readiness Credential (ACRC), Arizona Advanced Technology Corridor, AMS, Maryvale Workforce Initiative, and Be Connected Roadmap to Veteran Employment).
Technology
The Council will conduct a gap analysis on ARIZONA@WORK’s use of technology and data systems (i.e. State Workforce Evaluation System) and whether it supports the core programs service delivery and reporting on performance accountability measures. The results of this analysis will help the Council determine what requirements are missing to support the workforce system and implement technology changes to meet the need.
Policy
The Council will review and update current policies and develop new policies to promote statewide objectives and enhance the performance of the ARIZONA@WORK system. The Council will also provide policy guidance to State staff to support compliance across the workforce system.
Service Delivery
The Council will help improve service delivery by engaging in regional planning to cover Sector Strategies, Career Pathways, staff training and ensuring a consistent and efficient One-Stop delivery system to effectively serve employers and job seekers.
Administration
The Council will ensure the development and implementation of the State Plan, annual reports, labor market information system, formula funding allocations, and analysis of return on investment for activities/projects within the ARIZONA@WORK system.
