June 3, 2:00-3:30 pm - Webinar
The U. S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration is excited to announce the launch of the Innovation and Opportunity Network! The Innovation and Opportunity Network (ION) is your online learning and teaching community designed to help you connect with your peers and partners. ION encompasses multiple forms of training and technical assistance focused on the dynamic action and innovation called for under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).
Please join us for this virtual event to learn more about ION and how you, your board, staff, and partners can be part of it. The event will feature a panel of workforce leaders discussing what steps they have taken and are currently taking to advance the vision of WIOA in their state and local areas. Learn from the challenges and successes of your peers to assist in your own journey through WIOA implementation. You will also learn about the upcoming training and technical assistance efforts to support you through the journey. We encourage you to participate in this webinar with your WIOA partners!
