 Slide7

Challenges in SCConsistent and timely metrics: Increasing state goals/performance will likely determine regions in SC after 2016. Performance is difficult to assess due to lag time in performance results.Consistent program direction: SC DEW has some challenging personalities and has experienced repeated turnover of State Directors.

Potential conflicts of interest: Many COGs function as the operator of SC Works Offices – difficult to determine how RFPs can be completed at ‘arms length’ when the COG is also the Fiscal Agent/Administrator for area

Federal funding:

Decreasing funds make balancing administrative costs difficult

Local Staffing:

Workforce staff tend to focus on operational issues, and can miss bigger (i.e. political) issues.

Each region seems to operate a little differently, making consistency difficult—particularly in responding as a group to SC DEW.Many Disparate Parts - Local Understanding/Education:

“Workforce Development” includes many partners (not all working together)

Elected officials and the private sectorSlide8

Opportunities/Solutions in SCActive Communication: Workforce administrators meet monthly with SC DEW program staff, and COG Directors meet monthly with SC DEW Director during transition to WIOA. Active Education: Developing clear and concise materials/PR to identify the benefits of workforce development (and WIOA’s specific role) in the local/regional economy

Local Staffing: COG Directors should participate in WIOA Board Meetings and effectively communicate/reiterate the roles of COG vs. Workforce Board

Creatively find ways to consistently and adequately serve rural/remote areas (i.e. remote access)

Local Understanding:

Continue to educate local officials and private sector via

consistent messaging in

parternship with continuum of partners (Technical Education, ReadySC, Business Services staff, SC DEW staff, etc.)

Demonstrate increased value through Business Testimonials, Partner Testimonials, Participant Testimonials/Success StoriesSlide9
