Monitoring is an essential function of the WIOA system.  Monitoring is the primary tool for identification of compliance with federal and grant requirement.  Monitoring is a multifaceted activity directed at achieving program goals. Monitoring then becomes a program identification tool that links planning, program design, implementation, technical assistance and evaluation.

Monitoring Committee members see their value as the gatekeepers to all things compliance.

Monitoring is done to:

• Meet statutory and regulatory requirements,
• Ensure compliance and effectiveness,
• Drive continuous improvement,
• Advance strategic priorities.

This committee strives to make sure that all monitors across the state have the most current information available in order to fulfill these directives.
