National Governors Association Workforce Innovation Network Workforce Innovation Network Meeting
The meeting focused on the development of a customer counseling and planning toolkit for workforce systems, which has evolved into a suite of resources including a self-sufficiency matrix, a motivational interview process, and a participant tool. Key discussions covered the project charter, establishing guiding norms such as accessibility and cultural competency, and the timeline for upcoming project phases and pilot strategies. The initiative, supported by the National Governors Association, aims to enhance intake processes and facilitate goal setting for program participants across multiple states.
