During the past year, the New York State Department of Labor provided local workforce investment areas with the opportunity to obtain grant funding towards the achievement of local and regional coordination of WIA activities. Most local areas responded to this Strategic Planning for a Human Capital Advantage grant announcement and were subsequently provided with funds to either support the initiation of strategic planning activities or to aide the local area in the continuation of a process already underway. As part of their strategic planning process, many local boards created a State of the Workforce report which summarized past efforts and accomplishments, analyzed the current trends and emerging workforce and economic issues and established a vision for the future. Contained within this section are links to where these State of the Workforce reports may be viewed and downloaded. As additional reports are finalized, further links will be added.
