WIOA Regional/Local Plan Modifications 2023

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires local workforce development boards (LWDBs) and chief elected officials to engage in an integrated regional and local workforce planning process to prepare, submit, and obtain approval of a single collaborative regional plan that incorporates local plans for each of the local areas within the given workforce planning region. These plans serve as four-year action plans to develop, align, and integrate service delivery strategies to support the Commonwealth's vision, strategic and operational goals.

The Southwest Planning Region is a nine-county workforce development planning region made up of five local workforce development areas (WDAs). Four LWDBs oversee these local areas:

Southwest Corner Workforce Development Board
Southwest Corner WDA
Counties: Beaver County, Greene County, and Washington County
Three Rivers Workforce Development Board, also know as Partner4Work
Allegheny County WDA and City of Pittsburgh WDA
Counties: Allegheny County
Tri-County Workforce Development Board
Tri-County WDA
Counties: Armstrong County, Butler County, and Indiana County
Westmoreland-Fayette Workforce Development Board
Westmoreland-Fayette WDA
Counties: Fayette County and Westmoreland County

The Southwest Planning Region has posted final modifications to our WIOA Regional and Local Plans, which have been approved by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and our respective chief elected officials and local workforce development boards. These modified plans will remain effective between July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2025.
