It’s not common for a Local Workforce Board to open itself up to honest 3rd party evaluation of effectiveness…especially in the midst of the lowest customer traffic numbers we’d seen in over a decade. I can’t wait to see that ROI number skyrocket as now we begin to leverage the multiple transformational opportunities ahead. It’s vital for our workforce system to get raw baseline data and commit to year over year increases in efficiency and impact to remain relevant.
