The Connecticut Department of
Labor
(CT DOL) oversees
Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act (WIOA) services
statewide and conducts strategic
planning, policy making and
monitoring.
WIOA Administration works
with local Workforce Development
Boards to ensure services comply
with federal and state policy.
We also oversee the coordination
and implementation of National
Dislocated Worker Grants (NDWG
--
formerly National
Emergency Grants ‘NEGs’),
incumbent worker training grants,
summer youth employment
and other programs.
The Connecticut DOL
hosts a statewide advisory board
which is charged with ensuring
that Connecticut has the talent
to support economic growth
through the
Office of Workforce
Competitiveness.
In 1992 the Connecticut General Assembly established nine regional workforce boards which were combined into five entities in 2003. The Boards, with the Connecticut Department of Labor, other State agencies and private organizations, form a statewide partnership to achieve comprehensive workforce development in the State. Workforce Development Board (WDB) membership includes community-based organizations, state and local organized labor, state and municipal government, human service agencies, economic development agencies, community colleges and other educational institutions, including secondary and post-secondary institutions and regional vocational technical schools.
WDBs assess regional employment priorities and training needs. They assure that regional planning is consistent with an overall statewide blueprint for workforce development.
The Boards create annual employment and training plans which create local systems that increase participant employment, retention, and earnings; and increase attainment of recognized credentials by participants.
