Changes include (i) creating the Workforce Development Consortium to administer the coordinated implementation of programs and activities under the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014, (ii) establishing a full-time director position to be supervised by the Governor's Chief Workforce Development Advisor and dedicated to supporting the operations of the Virginia Board of Workforce Development (Board) and requiring quarterly meetings of the Board, (iii) requiring a regional convener of workforce development partners, (iv) establishing minimum levels of fiscal support for workforce credential attainment, and (v) utilizing WIOA reserve funds for incentive programs to increase workforce credential attainment.
