The purpose of the incentive award is to reward Local Workforce Development Boards (Boards) that meet or exceed the performance benchmarks identified in each incentive award and accomplish the goals of the Texas Workforce Commission (Commission) to fulfill the workforce needs of employers and to put Texans to work. The Board is responsible for providing strategic and operational planning for its local workforce development area. The development of an integrated and coherent workforce development system at the local level is the primary focus of Boards. Thus, this policy seeks to recognize Boards for achieving high performance as a system, as well as high performance on behalf of employers and the populations annually targeted by the Commission during the budget process. Incentives will emphasize accountability, high performance, and continuous improvement and support the state in achieving workforce development goals.
