Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014, each Governor develops a four-year plan for their State's workforce development system to encompass core federal programs, including WIOA Title I-B, Title II (Adult Education), Title III (Wagner-Peyser), and Title IV (Vocational Rehabilitation Services).
The WIOA Unified State Plan outlines the Governor's vision for integrating workforce, education, and economic development policies through detailed principles, goals, and strategies to achieve this integration. The plan incorporates feedback from leaders across various sectors, including business, economic development, education and training, workforce development, organized labor, advocates for marginalized populations, and experts in economic and labor market data.
The Illinois Workforce Innovation Board (IWIB) and required partners have prepared the State of Illinois' Unified State Plan for Program Years 2024-2027 (July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2028).
