This page has recent versions of the WIOA State Plan for Minnesota.

Excerpt from 2018 report: “The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) and the Governor’s Workforce Development Board (GWDB) present our annual Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) report for Program Year 2018 (PY18). DEED is the state agency in Minnesota responsible for administering the United States Department of Labor (USDOL) WIOA Title I and III programs. In addition, DEED oversees a combination of other workforce development programs and funds, including Vocational Rehabilitation Services, State Services for the Blind, and Unemployment Insurance. The GWDB is the policy board that advises the Governor on the Minnesota workforce system and is mandated and funded by WIOA and further defined by Minn. Stat. Sect. 116L.665.”
