STANDARD 1 VISION, ECONOMIC & WORKFORCE ANALYSIS, STRATEGIC PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION Introduction and Overview The Section addresses the following State Standards: • The plan meets local planning requirements in CUIC Section 14200[c]. • The plan's vision is strategic and comprehensive. • The plan's goals and objectives are evidence - based. • Key Stakeholders are actively engaged both in the planning and implementation of the plan. • The five year plan meets Planning Requirements in UI Code 14200 & SB 698 These five State Standards amalgamate the strategic visions of both the Governor and the statewide WIB. Santa Ana's vision is consistent with both. Following a very brief summary of the State's vision, this section elaborates and specifies them in detail, as they apply to Santa Ana's specific context and needs, then indicates strategies for implementing the vision. The evidence for the vision is based on WIB and WORK Center One -stop performance to date, plans, and labor force data gathered from current sources. The detailed labor force data is in a separate section that combines an analysis of Santa Ana's workforce with regional data. The State Visi ®n Standard The Governor stresses the importance of regionalism and of identifying and preparing for emerging industries and other business developments that enhance California's competitiveness. His vision emphasizes the importance of preparing a workforce to satisfy the needs of the developing regional industries. The WIB's statewide vision is expressed in the subtitle of its report, "Strategies for Shared Prosperity." That vision endorses the Governor's call for regional approaches and seeks the integration of activities that develop a business structure and especially a workforce capable of creating community wealth. It breaks goals into the basic workforce funding categories: adult, youth, and underserved populations. It examines the services that each provides. It calls for special emphasis on addressing underserved populations through supporting services that share data and integrate their services to the extent possible. Santa Ana's vision contains both general and timeless statements unrelated to particular strategies, but also expresses the concrete elements that the strategies directly implement. Santa Ana believes that any vision must be supported by data and evidence of accomplishment and potential. It must be capable of being implemented, a practical, not theoretical statement of purpose. Because this proposal tracks State Standards in pre -set categories, there will be some duplication of both concepts and data below and in other Sections of this proposal. 19F -14
