<br></p><p>Our state’s workforce system has always provided innovative solutions to engage employers, grow the skills needed for our workforce, and keep our youth connected to education and career opportunities. The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) is taking further steps to align programs to WIOA that further promote economic growth for our state. You can learn more about the positive impact that is already happening in Illinois through our success stories. </p><p>To begin the transformation process to WIOA, DCEO has organized WIOA Implementation working groups composed of business and industry, workforce system partners, and community members. These working groups will focus on WIOA: Operations, Planning, Policy, Performance, Governance, Technology/workNet, and Youth. </p><p>
