Workforce Development System Definition
4
Division Status

• The Workforce and Talent Division is still in the
  formative stages of development
• Formally established in November 2007
• Alignment project announced in April 2008
• New programs, new responsibilities, new staff,
  new charge
• Staff transition effective September 2, 2008
• Total responsibility for program funds 2009-2010

5
Division Mission

• The Division works to leverage the Departments
  interaction with a broad range of businesses to
  identify and understand their workforce needs and
  provide direct resources to meet Ohios
  business-driven workforce demands

6
Case for Change

• Ohios workforce development system was
  fragmented, i.e., spread across multiple state
  agencies, each managing multiple programs
• Efforts to provide effective and efficient
  services to employers were hampered by the design
  
• The system requires realignment for program and
  operational efficiencies to be achieved
• The ongoing alignment enables each of the
  affected state agencies, i.e., Development, Job
  and Family Services and Regents, to enhance the
  services that they provide to their core customers
