Dear Hoopono Partners,

I would like to ask that you share the link to Hawaii's modified WIOA Unified Plan draft  (https://labor.hawaii.gov/wdc/files/2018/02/Unified-State-Plan-Draft-Mod-0218.docx ) that is continuing to be worked on through solicitation of public comment until next week Wednesday.  As our stakeholders may notice DVR continues to report on pre-WIOA performance measures and is integrating updates under the new WIOA performance measures as this data is being tracked into our reporting systems.  As noted below, comments to improve upon this plan are being solicited and should be sent to DLIR.Workforce.Council at hawaii.gov <mailto:DLIR.Workforce.Council at hawaii.gov>  no later than midnight 2/28/2018.

 

Our stakeholders include but are not limited to our clients, their ohana and advocates, our community partners such as vendors, providers, employers, and all our staff and contracted supports with whom we regularly collaborate to fulfill our DVR mission.

 

Thank you for getting this information out to our partners and encouraging their engagement to support improvements to our modifications of this Unified Plan.  The opportunity for them to continue to engage in this process will be provided on an annual basis moving forward.  Stakeholders may also want to look at the federal guidelines for WIOA at the following link: https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/osers/rsa/wioa-final-rules.html
