12 Recommendations from Task Force Members

13 How Should Florida’s Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Planning Regions be Organized? Recognition of 24 local workforce development areas and either seven or 24 regional planning areas Conversations are continuing within the CareerSource Florida network and additional regional recommendations may be forthcoming

14 What Should Be Included in a Comprehensive One-Stop Career Center? Inclusiveness is key Local flexibility Credentialing tool with partner input

15 How Should WIOA-Required One-Stop Career Center Partners Share Infrastructure Costs? Vocational Rehabilitation and Blind Services contributions negotiated at the state level Adult education contributions negotiated at the local level Local flexibility with a provision for a state formula if no local agreement can be reached, as WIOA requires Do not require contributions from Perkins Act funding at this time

16 Which Programs and Entities Should be Included in Florida’s Workforce Development System? (combined or unified planning) Unified plan with voluntary participation as a combined plan Other potential partners may be incorporated in outlying years based on additional evaluation and planning (i.e. Perkins Act)

17 Since WIOA Requires Common Measurement and Planning for the Core Programs, What Governance or Organizational Structure Would Lead to the Best Outcomes? Emphasize WIOA requirement for state and local board membership for core programs; add requirement for the Department of Corrections and Agency for Persons with Disabilities Mandate local board membership for required one- stop partners

18 How Can Florida’s Workforce Development System Better Share Information, Systems and/or Customers? Focus on integration of existing systems, sharing necessary information Integrate the Employ Florida Marketplace into career services and resources available through state college and state university career centers

19 What Can Florida’s Workforce Development System Do to Best Serve Individuals with Obstacles to Employment? Utilize principles of universal design in serving customers (i.e. career centers) Maintain the integrity of systems and unique customer bases

20 What Resources or Relationships Do You Need to Implement WIOA? Memorandums of Understanding among partners in career centers Flexibility in examining co-location Sound data-sharing agreements that allow for transparent reporting

21 Other Recommendations Utilize WIOA resources to promote registered apprenticeships In career center credentialing, require after-hours access Provide cross training opportunities for core program staff working with career centers Adopt consistent nomenclature for State Workforce Development Board, Local Workforce Development Boards, Local Workforce Development Areas and Regional Planning Areas — aligned with WIOA
