ACTION PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTATION - HANDOUT
Homework: Use the handout to begin drafting a list of tasks,
action steps, and activities your State must conduct to begin
planning for and implementing WIOA.
1) For each of the tasks, consider the strategies and actions
your State will need to take in order to plan and implement
the task.
2) Consider the resources your State may already have in
place and/or the resource needs in order to conduct these
activities.
3) Consider the challenges your State and/or local providers
may face in planning and implementing these tasks and
action steps.
4) If there is a specific timeframe in which some tasks or action
steps need to take place, write down the target end date for
each activity.
