Regional Planning Units and Assigned Partners
This attachment provides a map of Regional Planning Unit (RPU) boundaries and Local Workforce Development Board (Local Board) boundaries and identifies regional planning partners. Table 1 lists the Local Boards and the counties in each RPU as well as relevant Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) regional offices.
Department of Rehabilitation
Per the State Plan Local Boards are required to invite DOR to participate in Workforce Innovation and Opportunity (WIOA) regional planning efforts, particularly any regional planning efforts pertaining to employer engagement, and in particular, coordinated efforts to engage federal contractors to take advantage of “503” hiring requirements. Local Boards and their partners should engage DOR and relevant Community Based Organizationsin efforts to ensure that “regional sector pathway” programs physically and programmatically accessible to individuals with disabilities.
Community College Regional Consortia Partners
Community College regional consortia boundaries are based on college district boundaries and do not always align perfectly with WIOA RPU boundaries which are based on Local Board boundaries. Per agreement with State Plan partners, the default planning requirement is that Local Boards and Community Colleges will be required to plan with the respective partner consortia with whom they have the greatest common shared area. Table 2 provides a list of community college regional consortia partner assignments which State Plan partners have made by using GIS tools to identify required partners using the “greatest common shared area” criteria.
Local Boards organized into RPUs are free to plan with other overlapping and adjacent Community College regional consortia and vis-versa, provided that respective partners continue to plan with the consortia with whom they have the greatest common shared area.
Adult Education Block Grant Regional Consortia Partners
AdultEducationBlock Grant (AEBG) consortia boundaries are based on community college districts, and as a result, Local Boards can determine which AEBG consortia they are required to plan with by determining which community college consortia they are required to plan with, and which AEBG consortia operate within the relevant community college regional consortia boundaries. Table 3 provides a list of the relevant assigned AEBG regional consortia partners.
Economic Development Agencies
Economic Development Agencies are required planning partners under the federal law. Under the State Plan, Local Boards operating as RPUS are required to involve Economic Development Corporations (EDCs), Innovation Hubs (iHUBs), and Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) in regional planning efforts in order to avail themselves of the knowledge these entities have about regional economic development efforts, a region’s emerging economic sectors, and the manner in which state incentive programs are encouraging the growth of relevant economic sectors. Table 4 provides a list of the counties and relevant economic development agencies in each RPU.
County Offices of Education
RPU planning efforts should include representatives of K-12 Career and TechnicalEducation (CTE) programs funded by either federal Perkins funds or various state-specific CTE funding streams, when relevant county offices of education and other local educational agencies determine that participation will benefit the students participating in their CTE programs. Table 5 identifies the counties in each RPU as well as the county office of education tasked with providing technical assistance on career technical education to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) in each region, as well as the K-12 State Board of Education/California Department of EducationRegions.
