State of Michigan Unified State Plan Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Program Years 2020-2023

“Michigan is in a unique position to address the needs of individuals, employers and communities to address the educational and economic means to reach their full potential.  All four Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) core programs (Titles I, II, III, and IV) are newly positioned within the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO). Under Executive Order 2019-13, Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) (Title IV) was positioned under LEO and provides all four WIOA Core programs under one State department to allow for greater transparency and partnership.  VR continues to closely partner with the State’s One-Stop system and partners on strategic planning, and ways to collaboratively service our mutual customers (businesses and individuals with disabilities).”
