Regional and Local WIOA Plans

For program years 2021-2024, Pennsylvania’s 10 planning regions and 22 Local Workforce Development Boards submitted plans with strategies to implement the WIOA Combined State Plan and the commonwealth’s workforce development goals at the regional and local level. These regional and local plans were developed collaboratively with stakeholders and provide the framework for statewide workforce development alignment, creating a comprehensive workforce development system, and achieving the commonwealth’s WIOA goals.

NOTE: Single area regions are required to submit either a local area plan or have the option to submit a regional plan and local plan which is reflected in the links below.
