This plan was developed in accordance with Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Guidelines and State of Illinois Requirements. WIOA requires that Local Workforce Development Areas complete a Regional Planning Process. In Illinois the Governor has designated the following counties; DeWitt, Fulton, Livingston, Marshall, Mason, McLean, Peoria, Stark, Tazewell and Woodford counties as the North Central Economic Development Region 3 (NCEDR). The Region plans to build on proven practices such as sector strategies, career pathways, regional economic approaches and work-based learning models to effectively serve both employers and job seekers in our area.
The Plan supports the vision to ensure collaboration among education, workforce, economic development and required partners as they provide program participants the ability to move along their chosen career pathway, leading to high paying jobs in growing sectors of the economy that offer long-term opportunities for stable employment and ultimately assist businesses in Illinois to be competitive in a global economy.
