Bevin issues executive order creating KentuckyWorks Collaborative 18-Member Collaborative Will Implement Statewide Workforce Development Strategic Plan By Nicole Burton/Danielle Jones Frankfort, KY - Gov. Matt Bevin, in partnership with the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet (EWDC) and the Kentucky Workforce Innovation Board (KWIB), signed an executive order establishing the KentuckyWorks Collaborative to guide the Commonwealth's workforce efforts through statewide implementation of KWIB's strategic plan, Kentucky Work Ready: An Urgent Call to Action. The KentuckyWorks Collaborative will be comprised of 18 members representing state and federal agencies, local workforce boards, and employers. Each member represents an agency that provides job training, counseling, career development, and technical assistance services to Kentucky employers or job seekers. "The creation of the KentuckyWorks Collaborative will bring together stakeholders from key sectors throughout the Commonwealth to implement the carefully crafted strategic plan from KWIB," said Gov. Bevin. "It will also develop new and enhanced approaches to building and strengthening our workforce. As Kentucky's economy continues its record growth, we must ensure that our workforce programs do not operate in silos. Today's businesses demand highly-skilled, highly-trained workers, and this new Collaborative will help to develop a comprehensive workforce system that aligns federal, state, and local resources to provide exciting new job opportunities for Kentuckians." "The Collaborative allows Kentucky to guide workforce initiatives by eliminating challenges to improving workforce participation and retention through the alignment of resources among workforce development partners," said Education and Workforce Development Cabinet Secretary Derrick K. Ramsey. "This alignment affords us with the opportunity to more accurately tailor career pathways, education, and training to specifically meet employer demand and place Kentuckians on a path of self-sufficiency and competitive wages." The KentuckyWorks Collaborative will guide the state's workforce strategy by:
"As a business-led organization, the KWIB set out to develop a strategic plan that recognizes the direct connection between long term economic prosperity and a fully integrated, effective education, human services and workforce development system," said Hugh Haydon, KWIB Chair. "While the KWIB will remain focused on driving and monitoring plan progress, we rely on the Commonwealth's governmental and allied entities for plan implementation. The Collaborative created by the executive order will bring these entities together in a structure that brings accountability and assures goals and initiatives identified in the plan remain top priorities." The KentuckyWorks Collaborative will meet in February to provide agency support of the KWIB's efforts to implement the strategic plan. Members will analyze data retrieved from the state's first interactive dashboard to measure the effectiveness of the ten local workforce areas. Kentucky's interactive dashboard will go live on Feb. 1. This story was posted on 2019-01-04 19:35:36
