LOCAL PLAN
Workforce Solutions Alamo (WSA) provides a variety of services for local employers and talent. A large part of what we do is direct funding and resources toward workforce development services throughout our area, which includes Atascosa, Bandera, Bexar, Comal, Frio, Gillespie, Guadalupe, Karnes, Kendall, Kerr, McMullen, Medina and Wilson Counties.
One way we do that is through our Local Plan. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires us to set priorities to oversee the workforce development system in this region. The Local Plan is a comprehensive 4-year guide that analyzes the local workforce development area and provides specific detail related to the WSA strategy to meet the economic and employment needs of the area’s job seekers and employers.
This plan is developed in cooperation with local community stakeholders including elected officials, area employers, education and training partners, community-based organizations, and individuals who are the recipients of services provided by Workforce Solutions Alamo.
We are now hosting virtual and in person Local Plan meetings throughout the 13-county region to gather your thoughts and ideas.
