The 5-year State Plan
The Council is mandated to develop a 5-year strategic plan to be submitted to the Secretary of Labor. The plan advises the Governor on developing the statewide workforce development system and the statewide employment statistics (formerly labor market information) system, and assists the Governor in reporting to the Secretary of Labor and monitoring the statewide system.
The comprehensive state plan describes the workforce development activities to be undertaken in the state, how the state will implement the key requirements of the WIA, and how special populations, including welfare recipients, veterans and individuals with multiple barriers to employment, will be served. The plan is also to incorporate the detailed state plans under the Wagner-Peyser Act relating to the delivery of employment services. The state plan is to be approved within 90 days unless the Secretary determines that the plan is inconsistent with the provisions of the title or that the Wagner-Peyser plan does not meet the approval standard of that Act.
