Local Workforce Development Boards and their partners across the country are now working to determine how these approaches fit together, as the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) places a strong focus on regional implementation of both strategies. This Peer Learning Group call will offer WDBs and their partners a chance to share promising practices as well challenges in aligning these strategies in their local areas. A local WDB that has successfully integrated sector strategies and career pathways will discuss key steps and lessons learned from their efforts.
