Purpose of the Regional and Plan The regional and local plan is a single document that combines the required regional and local planning elements to meet WIOA requirements. The regional and local plan serves as a 4-year action plan to: develop, align, and integrate service delivery strategies regionally and locally; and support the vision, guiding principles, goals, and strategies established in the Combined State Plan. The regional and local plan establishes the strategies for: directing investments in economic, education, and workforce training programs to focus on providing relevant education and training to ensure that: individuals, including youth and individuals with barriers to employment, have the skills to compete in Nebraska’s job market; and employers have a ready supply of skilled workers; applying job-driven strategies in the one-stop delivery system; enabling economic, education, and workforce partners to build a skilled workforce through innovation in, and alignment of, employment, training, and education programs; and coordinating resources among local boards within the region. WIOA requires that NDOL establish and disseminate to local boards a policy that establishes: the requirements for development and submission of the regional and local plan; and timelines for development and submission of the regional and plan. This policy satisfies that requirement.
