Take a deep dive into the activities required for successfully implementing WIOA during The Forum's full day pre-conference sessions on Saturday, March 24th, from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM. 

Maximizing Impact through Outcomes Contracting:

How WIOA Pay-for-Performance Can Improve Business Practices and Lives

The WIOA Pay-for-Performance (P4P) provisions offer a window of opportunity for workforce boards to build on the rich history of performance-based contracting, develop more comprehensive services, and deploy resources in increasingly outcomes-driven ways. In this session, participants will hear from a panel of workforce boards that have been working for the past year to leverage outcomes contracting, including Northern Virginia, San Diego, and Austin. Additionally, participants will have the chance to dig into the nuts and bolts of getting to an outcomes-based contract, including the essential components of population and outcomes analysis, cost modeling, and developing outcomes contracting language. The session will include a mix of hands-on activities, group conversations, and panel discussions.

The Forum has evolved as a place where many organizations and their diverse constituencies come together to create a supported and united response to the collective mission of workforce development. How do we, as change makers in our organizations, communities, and regional economies,  fuel the talent at the heart of our nation's workforce and  forge changes that drive economic sustainability?

NAWB has partnered with four national organizations that recognize and understand the leadership role of the workforce boards and are engaged in the issues that connect workers to employers to economic growth. We've asked these organizations to create and lead large sessions geared towards the collective actions we can take as a system to create momentum for change.

ChangeMaker Assemblies are planned and hosted by these nationally-recognized partners, and feature invited guest speakers who will share their perspectives and proven strategies for integrating technologies, strengthening outcomes, building skills, and becoming more inclusive in decision-making. 

The following four ChangeMaker Assemblies are scheduled for Sunday, March 25th, at The Forum 2018:

ChangeMaker Assembly: Advocacy A Case for Advancing Skills Through Policy: Mobilizing for Impact Hosted by National Skills Coalition
