STATE TECHNOLOGY PROFILES

Workforce ITSC’s State Technology Profiles suggest that most states procure a single system to operationalize WIOA programs rather than multiple systems that operate in tandem.

To learn more about this idea of “Integration vs. Concentration” and Digital Transformation (dX) more broadly, explore the resources available in the Workforce Technology Collection of the Knowledge Exchange Library. Unsure about your organization’s digital transformation journey? Consider the dX e-learning lesson currently being offered by our Workforce Academy.
