• Workforce Success Measures
• Establishing clear, simple and consistent performance metrics is an important goal for our workforce transformation work and is a priority of the Governor's Executive Workforce Board.
• Aligned workforce metrics and public online dashboard will create an opportunity to evaluate what is working and what is not in our workforce system.
House Bill 488
ALIGNING OHIO’S WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM
