- (a) The purpose of the incentive is to reward Local Workforce Development Boards (boards) that meet the stated goals of the Commission to increase the local control of workforce development programs and to put Texans to work. The board is responsible for providing strategic planning for the local area for all workforce development programs consolidated into the Texas Workforce Commission (Commission). 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 the populations annually targeted by the Commission during the budget process. Incentives will emphasize accountability, high performance, continuous improvement and support the state in achieving workforce development goals.
- (b) This rule incorporates by reference the existing rule for performance standards for the Job Training Partnership Act Program cited in §§805.160-805.165 of this title (relating to Performance Standards). State variation of performance standards established by the U.S. Department of Labor and/or state standards shall be published in the Texas Register on an annual basis in a numbered TWC Letter.
