Public Comment

27

Workforce Investment Community Advisory Committee (WiCAC)

• The plan contains robust data analysis and thoughtful consideration of

target employment sectors with the highest potential for job growth as well as creation of programs that align with these target sectors.

• The "Local Innovation Engine" is a novel and interesting concept that

seems to have potential in gaining and sustaining interest among tech industry leaders.

• The “Youth Strategies” outlined in the plan address education issues

via workforce services and seem capable of better aligning workforce and education in San Francisco.

• The regional partnerships with Silicon Valley and San Mateo that are

discussed are a huge step in the right direction and we look forward to collaborating with other areas that are part of our regional workforce system.

Recommended Action

Approve the San Francisco Local Strategic Workforce Plan for 2013-2017 and grant OEWD authority to submit the plan on behalf of the WISF to the California Workforce Investment Board and Employment Development Department.
