Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County (WDBCCC) is tasked with developing a four-year plan to provide an overview of the local workforce system and describe the strategies that will be used to achieve specific goals, including fostering strategic alignment, improving service integration among workforce partners, and ensuring the workforce system is industry relevant. The Local Plan in concert with the East Bay Regional Plan jointly developed with other areas in the East Bay region, including Alameda County, City of Oakland, and City of Richmond, will serve as the strategic roadmap for the implementation of WIOA . Strategic priories have been identified for the four-year plan and is the framework under which the local workforce system will operate. Local strategies align with the State's primary objective: "fostering demand driven skills alignment; enabling upward mobility for all Californians; and, aligning, coordinating, and integrating programs and services to economize limited resources to achieve scale and impact."

Without submission of the Regional and Local Plans, the Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County would be out of compliance with the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act requirements.
