South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB) Strategic Plan

WIA Local Plan Modification Program Year 2011-12

The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) §118 requires that the local workforce investment board submit a five-year plan to the Governor that reflect the current and future strategies of the local area, and that the submission of local plans correspond more closely with local planning and budgetary cycles.

Title 20 CFR Part 661.355 states that the Governor must establish procedures governing the modification of local plans. Accordingly, the State Board and the EDD, acting under the authority of the Governor established guidelines for modifying the local plans for Program Year 2011-12. These guidelines ensure local boards have approved plans to be eligible to receive WIA funds for administering the One-Stop Career Center System and delivering services to its customer.
