The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) Performance Plan for FY 2021-2022 outlines the department's mission to promote a thriving employment environment for all Coloradans. Key priorities include establishing CDLE as a model employer, ensuring workers prosper through meaningful employment, providing exceptional services, fostering employer success, and preparing Colorado for the future of work. The plan details the accomplishments of the past fiscal year, including significant unemployment benefit payouts during the pandemic, legislative achievements, and internal process improvements. It also sets forth Wildly Important Goals (WIGs) for the upcoming fiscal year, focusing on reducing unemployment rates, increasing skills-based hiring, expanding apprenticeships, supporting a just transition for coal communities, and improving the speed of unemployment insurance payments. The plan highlights strategies and metrics for achieving these goals across various divisions, including Unemployment Insurance, Employment & Training, Labor Standards & Statistics, Oil & Public Safety, Workers' Compensation, Vocational Rehabilitation, and special initiatives such as the Office of Just Transition, Office of the Future of Work, and Office of New Americans.
