Chapter 4: Program Design and Evaluation

Chapter 5: Compliance/Performance/Administrative Cost

The Regional Plan addresses:

Chapter 1: Economic and Workforce Analysis

Chapter 3: Compliance/Performance/Administrative Cost

Northern Kentucky Workforce Development Area

The Northern Kentucky Workforce Investment Area (NKWDA) for the WIOA includes the eight Area Development District counties: Boone, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, Owen and Pendleton. Through a competitive procurement process, the Northern Kentucky Area Development District (NKADD) has been designated as the Local Grant Subrecipient, fiscal agent and staff to the Workforce Investment Board (WIB). The decision making process in the Northern Kentucky Workforce Investment Area shall be shared the responsibility of the Northern Kentucky WIB and the Chief Local Elected Officials.

Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act

The Act amends the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 to strengthen the United States workforce development system through innovation in and alignment and improvement of employment, training, and education programs in the United States, and to promote individual and national economic growth, and for other purposes. The rule provides the framework for changes for statewide and local workforce development systems to increase the employment, retention, earnings, and occupational skill attainment of workers. Particularly those individuals with barriers to employment, so they can move into good jobs and careers, and provide businesses with the skilled workforce needed to make the United States more competitive in the 21st Century global economy.
