Under the provisions of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), each State must submit a Unified or Combined State Plan to the U.S. Department of Labor that outlines a four-year strategy for the State’s workforce development system.

The WIOA State Plan provides valuable information about the various investment, programs, and initiatives underway to serve jobseekers, students, and businesses across the country.

The Maryland 2024-2028 WIOA Combined State Plan is available for viewing.

The public and workforce system stakeholders may view, download, or search the WIOA State Plans on the U.S. Department of Education's Rehabilitation Services Administration website.
