Presentation of information on Northeastern Arizona Innovative Workforce Solutions

Background Information

On July 1, 2015, the Workforce Development Board consisting of Gila County and Pinal County ceased to exist. On that same day, Navajo County, Apache County and Gila County incorporated into a new Local Workforce Development Board per the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA). The Northeastern Arizona Innovative Workforce Solutions (NEAZIWS) local area was formed. The Navajo County Board of Supervisors is the Chief Elected Official of the NEAZIWS Local Workforce Development Board. The Board's mission is to facilitate business retention and growth by partnering with education, service agencies and the business community to empower individuals with skills that promote self-sufficiency.

Ms. Stephanie Ray is the Executive Director of the NEAZIWS and she has offered to provide a presentation to the Board on the purpose, services and activities of the NEAZIWS local area.

Evaluation

It would be advantageous for the Board of Supervisors and the public to receive information on the purpose, services and activities of the NEAZIWS.
