Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, each Local Workforce Development Board is responsible for developing a four-year plan and must also engage in a regional planning process to develop the regional plan. The regional plan is for a 14-county area. The local plan is for Cherokee, Spartanburg and Union counties. Plans must be updated every two years. These serve as an action plan to develop, align and integrate service delivery strategies. We are holding a hearing for the public to provide comments in-person on December 19, 2024, at 5:30 PM, at SC Works, 110 Commerce Street, Spartanburg. The link to the plans will be posted on our website on December 10, 2024 at www.upstateworkforceboard.org, The email for comments is nikoya@upstatewb.org. Should you wish to contact us by phone, please call 864-596-2028, extension 1120 for Ms. Nikoya Shaw.
