EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />Enclose a brief summary, not more than two pages, of the five-year strategic local plan <br />that gives a general overview of the proposed local workforce investment system. <br />Include a description of how the system looks today, and how it will change over the <br />five-year plan period. Include a discussion of the local board's economic and <br />workforce investment goals and how the local system will support these goals. <br />PLAN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS <br />WIA gives states and local areas a unique opportunity to develop employment and <br />training systems tailored specifically to state and local area needs. The local plan is only <br />as effective as the partnership that implements it. The plan should represent a <br />collaborative process among the Chief Elected Official and the local system partners. <br />This collaboration will create a shared understanding of the local area's workforce <br />investment needs, a shared vision of how the local workforce investment system can be <br />designed to meet those needs, and agreement on the key strategies to achieve this <br />vision. This collaborative planning at all stages should drive local system development, <br />create strategies for improvement, and provide the opportunity for stakeholder and <br />public participation, review and comment. <br />In this section, describe the plan development process, including comments received <br />during the public comment period that were incorporated within the plan. [WIA Section <br />118(x) and (c}(1 }] <br />(Please note: we recognize that local areas are required to develop various related local <br />plans and we encourage you, whenever feasible and appropriate, to use planning <br />information that has already been developed. However, the data you use must be <br />accurate and current.) <br />A. What was the role of the Chief Elected Official in developing the plan? [WIA <br />Section 118(x)] <br />B. What local workforce investment board, transition board or existing body had <br />oversight for the development of this local plan? If there was no such body, how <br />wi11 you create a responsible entity? [WIA Section 117(d)(4)] <br />FW IA899-2A 3 of 18 Rev. 9/08 <br />19D-6 <br />
