FRANKFORT, Ky. — The Kentucky Workforce Innovation Board (KWIB) has scheduled six Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act (WIOA) state plan meetings for stakeholder and consumer input across the state from March 9-13. The proposed 2020 state plan is available for viewing online at WIOA.
WIOA is a federally-funded program that helps job seekers secure good jobs while providing businesses with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy.
