Issuance 11-2023: Subsequent Designation of Local Workforce Development Areas

This Issuance provides guidance and establishes the procedures regarding subsequent designation of Local Workforce Development Areas (LWDA) under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). The Governor must evaluate whether local areas continue to meet WIOA requirements for subsequent designation during each four-year State planning cycle. To facilitate this, Chief Local Elected Officials (CLEO) and Local Workforce Development Boards (WDB) must request subsequent designation as an LWDA by December 31, prior to the submission of the 4-year State Plan.
