Public Notice: 30-Day Comment Period for the Northeast Ohio Workforce Regional and Local Plans
Comment period is July 23 - August 21, 2025
The Northeast Ohio Workforce region invites public review and comment on the draft WIOA Regional and Local Workforce Development Plans for Program Years 2025–2029. Community input from jobseekers, employers, partners, and the public is vital to ensure our plans meet regional workforce needs.
Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), workforce development boards work together to create a unified regional workforce plan that supports the State of Ohio and regional economic priorities and needs. This regional plan, along with local plans, is designed to guide workforce development efforts over the next four years for the Northeast Ohio Workforce (NOW) region. The NOW region is made up of five local workforce development areas supporting eight counties: Area 2 (Medina and Summit), Area 3 (Cuyahoga), Area 4 (Lorain), Area 5 (Lake) and Area 19 (Ashtabula, Geauga, and Portage).
