Regional Plan/Local Plan
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) designates regions and local workforce development areas to create employment and training systems tailored to regional economies. These systems must meet the needs of the full range of learners and workers, including those with barriers to employment. The system must also address the specific needs of regional employers and the skills they require. WIOA requires the Local Workforce Development Board (LWDB) to submit a local plan to the Governor. Suppose the local area is part of a planning region. In that case, the LWDB will work with other LWDBs in the designated region to prepare and submit its local plan as part of a regional plan. The local and regional plans provide the framework for local areas to define how their workforce development systems will achieve the purposes of WIOA. The regional/local plans serve as 4-year action plans to develop, align, and integrate the region and local area’s job-driven workforce development systems and provide the platform to achieve the local area’s visions and strategic goals.
As required by the Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA), the five Local Workforce Development Boards (LWDB) in the 10-county metro Atlanta region (Workforce Region 3) have prepared a regional workforce plan for the City of Atlanta and the counties of Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, and Rockdale. Additionally, the five LWDBs of Region 3 have prepared unique local workforce plans for their service area. The City of Atlanta, as the fiscal and administrative agent for WorkSource Atlanta, has prepared the 2024-2027 WorkSource Atlanta local workforce development plan.
