Reason for Recommended Action/Background
On July 22, 2014, President Obama signed the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), replacing the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA). WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy.
Today’s recommended actions are intended to accomplish several critical actions that will keep Yolo County in compliance with the requirements of WIOA.
Yolo County Workforce Innovation Board Local Plan 2021-2024 Two-Year Modification (Local Plan 2 Yr. Modification)
Under WIOA, a Local Plan is established for a four (4)-year time period with a biennial update in order to ensure plans remain current and account for changes in labor market and economic conditions or any other factors affecting the implementation of the local plan. The Yolo County Workforce Innovation Board Local Plan 2021-24 (Local Plan) was approved by the Yolo County Board of Supervisors (Yolo BOS) on July 13, 2021. The Local Plan 2 Yr. Modification, or biennial update, is now in the process of being drafted and finalized.
The Local Plan approved in 2021 was developed in accordance with Workforce Services Directive (WSD) 20-05, which provided guidance and established procedures regarding the four-year local and regional plans. Additionally, HHSA, on behalf of the Yolo County Workforce Innovation Board (Yolo WIB) and the Yolo BOS, prepared the Local Plan in alignment with the 2020-2025 County Strategic Plan and California’s Strategic Workforce Development Plan 2020-23. The Local Plan was collaboratively developed and vetted with a wide range of partners and stakeholders including but not limited to CalWORKs, Adult Education & Literacy, Wagner-Peyser, Veterans Services, Unemployment Insurance, Vocational Rehabilitation, Migrant Seasonal Farmworkers, Housing and Urban Development Education, Carl Perkins Career Technical Education, Labor, Economic Development, Child Support, Probation, and Business.
Based on guidance issued in WSD 22-05, the Yolo County Workforce Innovation Board Local Plan was modified to accommodate the requirements identified by EDD as part of the two-year modification process. The Yolo WIB reviewed and approved the draft Yolo County Workforce Innovation Board Local Plan 2021-2024 Two-Year Modification (Att. A. Local Plan 2 Yr. Modification) on February 8, 2023. Opportunities for public input/comment were provided on November 16, 2022 and December 7, 2022 as well as the January 18, 2023 regularly scheduled WIB meeting. Additionally, the draft Local Plan 2 Yr. Modification was available for public comment for 30-days which ended February 18, 2023. Notifications were provided through various on-line publications throughout Yolo County.
Staff recommends that the Yolo BOS approve the Local Plan 2 Yr. Modification; authorize the Yolo BOS Chair to execute the final Local Plan 2 Yr. Modification; authorize HHSA to submit the Local Plan 2 Yr. Modification and related documents; and authorize HHSA WIOA Program to edit the Local Plan 2 Yr. Modification as needed to address any public comments and/or deficiencies identified by the California Workforce Development Board or designee following submission.
Strategic Workforce Development Plan for the Capital Region Plan 2021-24 Two-Year Modification (Regional Plan 2 Yr. Modification)
Under WIOA, a Regional Plan is established for a four (4)-year time period with a biennial update in order to ensure plans remain current and account for changes in labor market and economic conditions or any other factors affecting the implementation of the local plan. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Strategic Workforce Development Plan for the Capital Region Plan 2021-24 was approved by the Yolo BOS on July 13, 2021. The Strategic Workforce Development Plan for the Capital Region Plan 2021-24 Two-Year Modification (Regional Plan 2 Yr. Modification), or biennial update, is in the process of being drafted and finalized.
The California Workforce Development Board issued the 2020-23 State Plan which requires regional plans to be updated to keep them consistent with the policy direction of the State Plan. The WIOA Regional Planning Units as established by the State are required to submit a four-year plan that address how regional partnerships will serve as the primary mechanism for aligning educational and training services with regional industry sector needs.
The State established the Capital Region Planning Unit, which includes Yolo, Sacramento, Yuba, Sutter, Glenn, Colusa, Placer, El Dorado and Alpine counties. These nine counties through their workforce development boards worked collaboratively to update the Strategic Workforce Development Plan for the Capital Region 2021-24 and are now working collaboratively to draft the Strategic Workforce Development Plan for the Capital Region Plan 2021-24 Two-Year Modification (Regional Plan 2 Yr. Modification).
The Yolo WIB reviewed the Regional Plan 2 Yr. Modification (Att. B. Regional Plan 2 Yr. Modification) on February 8, 2023.
Staff recommends that the Yolo BOS authorize the Yolo BOS Chair execute final draft of the Regional Plan 2 Yr. Modification (Att. B. Regional Plan 2 Yr. Modification); and authorize HHSA to submit related Regional Plan documents on behalf of the Yolo WIB.
