In addition, state and local program coordination of workforce programs have failed to create an integrated, effective workforce development system. Services offered at local JobLink sites and the level of integration varies, and centers do not take full advantage of technology. State-level leadership by the Commission on Workforce Development has been insufficient to ensure an integrated workforce development system. Further, despite investments in a data system to track participants, there are no statewide performance measures for the workforce development system. The General Assembly should streamline the workforce development system, enhance accountability, strengthen the JobLink system, require increased use of technology, and create a legislative oversight committee to oversee the reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/WFD_Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Final Report<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/WFD_Exec_Summary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Executive Summary<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/WFD_Presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Presentation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/WFD_Handouts.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Handouts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Relevant Legislation:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncleg.gov\/enactedlegislation\/sessionlaws\/pdf\/2011-2012\/sl2012-131.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">S.L. 2012-131<\/a>: Modified the composition of the North Carolina Commission on Workforce Development and established the Joint Legislative Workforce Development System Reform Committee.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Agency Actions:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>When PED conducted its evaluation in 2012, the workforce development system consisted of 22 programs administered by seven state agencies.
