FRANKFORT, Ky. â The Kentucky Workforce Innovation Board (WIOB) and Department of Workforce Investment (DWI) are seeking public comments beginning Feb. 5-25, 2019 from consumers and workforce stakeholders on proposed changes to the Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act (WIOA) State Plan for the Commonwealth of Kentucky FY-2018.
The modifications result from the reorganization and transfer of Kentucky Adult Education from the Council on Postsecondary Education to the Education and Workforce Development Cabinet. The Office of Adult Education was created by Executive Order #2019-0027 and aligns Kentuckyâs WIOA partners under one agency.
The four-year state plan represents an agreement among the core partners identified in WIOA and serves as the framework for the development of public policy, fiscal investment and operation of Kentuckyâs labor exchange, workforce education and training programs.
Public comment on the modifications should be submitted during the 20-day period beginning Feb. 5, 2019 and ending at 4 p.m. Eastern time on Feb. 25, 2019.
Comments may be submitted by mail, email, or in writing at a KWIB meeting scheduled for Feb. 21. Comments may be sent via email to Holly Neal at Holly.Neal@ky.gov, or by mail at 275 E. Main St., 2wb, Frankfort, Ky. 40601.
Comments may also be submitted to the KWIB in writing at the quarterly meeting on Feb. 21, 2019, from 1:30 â 3:45 p.m. Eastern time, at the Kentucky Association of Counties, 400 Englewood Drive, Frankfort, Ky. 40601.
Specific changes to the state plan are detailed in the chart below, and the full-modified plan is available online.
