| For
the Gulf Coast region: |
| |
The
Gulf Coast of Texas ranks among the top ten economic
regions in the world. |
| |
Employers have
an adequate supply of well-educated and well-trained
workers, which enables them to compete in the world
economy. Residents
have the knowledge, skills, and aptitudes to work
and earn incomes that make them self-sufficient.
The
region is among the most attractive places in
the country to live and work. |
| |
|
|
| For the
workforce system: |
| |
A single,
integrated workforce system offers solutions for
employers’ workforce problems and helps people
build careers. |
| |
Employers access
the system and use its services without leaving
their place of business. Residents
are able to learn and work in their homes, in
schools, and on the job to realize their greatest
potential.
Residents throughout the region know about
the system and can access the same high-quality
information and labor market services regardless
of where they live or how they come in contact
with the system.
Strong commitments to innovation, productivity,
accountability, and results keep the system flexible
and responsive to employers’ and residents’
ever-changing workforce needs.
Life-long learning and skills development
are integral parts of the workforce system. Long-standing
relationships between employers and educators
keep education and training opportunities one
step ahead of the needs of the market.
The system partners with those industries
and businesses that drive the regional economy.
It also works with chambers of commerce and economic
development entities throughout the region to
identify and support emerging industries vital
to the region’s continued growth and diversification.
Operating above reproach, the system is highly
valued by employers and residents alike. |

high-performing
- nationally and locally known for its stewardship
of public funds and its commitment to results;
it makes funding decisions solely on the basis
of performance, not politics
- accountable to its owners (the taxpayers)
