WIOA State Plans at Your Fingertips

By Bryan Wilson, January 04, 2017

Just in time for your holiday reading pleasure, the U.S. Departments of Labor and Education have provided an online portal to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity plans from each of the fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the territories.  You may find the plans here.  The site not only provides access to each state plan, it also links to a search tool that enables you to search the content of the plans. 

The tool offers three options for searching the plans: 1) you can search all the plans for the word or words that you want; 2) you can limit your search to a state or certain states; and 3) you can search particular portions of the plans.  For example, you may want to see what state plans say about “sector partnerships;” you may want to search only the states in your region of the county; and you may only want to read what these states say about sector partnerships in the  strategic vision and goals section of their plan.  The permutations are nearly countless. 

So, have at it and find out all the details you want about what’s in the WIOA state plans.
