2021-2024 WIOA Local Plan and Southeast PA Regional Plan Modification

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires local workforce development boards and workforce regions to develop and publish a strategic plan every four years that details workforce service delivery and compliance. Additionally, both local and regional plans must be reviewed for modifications every two years. The Chester County Workforce Development Board is proud to present the Chester County 2021-2024 WIOA Local Plan and the Southeast Pennsylvania 2021-2024 WIOA Regional Plan modifications, effective July 1, 2023. The Chester County Workforce Development Boards’ local plan was developed in collaboration with workforce system partners and stakeholders and details the framework through which Chester County’s workforce system aligns with regional priorities and statewide WIOA goals. Likewise, the regional plan details advancement of a comprehensive workforce system that meets the needs of career seekers and employers in Southeast Pennsylvania. That impact of that regional effort is detailed in the Southeast Pennsylvania Regional Plan and the County Local Plan, showcasing special initiates and best practices from across the region.
