GoalsofthePennsylvaniaWorkforceSystem
The five broad goals for the commonwealth’s workforce development system are:
1) Establish career pathways as the primary model for skill, credential, and degree attainment and provide all Pennsylvanians, with an emphasis on Pennsylvanians with barriers to employment, an opportunity to obtain a job that pays.
2) Expand public‐private investment in the state’s pipeline of workers and in incumbent workers for targeted industry sectors from entry‐level skills to middle skills through Industry Partnerships, WEDnetPA, and other innovative strategies.
3) Increase opportunities for all youth to participate in work‐based learning through summer employment, pre‐apprenticeships, apprenticeships, internships and other similar experiences.
4) Engage employers through multi‐employer workforce partnerships to improve the connection and responsiveness of workforce programs to the demand side of the labor market; increase public‐private investment in critical skills; and support the spread of employer practices that create jobs that pay.
5) Strengthen data sharing across state agencies and workforce development partners to better understand education and employment outcomes, and rely more effectively on data to improve and target efforts.7
IN PENNSYLVANIA, PA CAREERLINK® CENTERS ARE WHAT WIOA REFERS TO AS ‘ONE‐STOP’ CENTERS AND WHAT THE US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR REFERS TO AS AMERICAN JOB CENTERS®.
Local workforce development boards (local boards) must expand beyond oversight of the PA CareerLink® centers to convene the partners that prepare and match skilled workers to in‐demand jobs offered by employers. Services and training focus on those most in need and hardest to serve.
The WIOA Title I Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth Program funds are awarded by formula to each local workforce development area. Chief local elected officials, together with their local workforce development boards, are charged with making policy decisions for their respective workforce areas to address the workforce needs of citizens and local employers.
Economic development, business, and job creation are local initiatives. WIOA enables local board members and local elected officials to readily respond to the changing needs of their local communities. WIOA enables flexibility, allowing local decision makers to be nimble in implementing the right strategy at the right time to satisfy the demands of their respective local economy.
Importantly, WIOA recognizes the significant role employers play in any workforce strategy. This recognition makes the workforce system more relevant to employers.
ANOTHER CENTRAL WIOA THEME IS COORDINATION AMONG PA CAREERLINK® CENTER PARTNERS WITH RESPECT TO FUNDING, DATA COLLECTION, AND SHARING INFORMATION. THE BENEFITS OF COORDINATION AND COLLABORATION ENCOURAGE PARTNERS TO WORK TOGETHER.
