Throughout the year, as workforce development professionals, we encounter a number of extraordinary individuals (adults and youth) who take full advantage of the opportunities provided through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Section 166 and Public Law 102-477 programs and achieve great success in their chosen endeavors. Also, we are fortunate to work with many great companies and organizations that not only serve as employers for our participants but also work to develop individual employees.
As such, we appreciate the opportunity to honor the “Outstanding” among these participants and employers. Enclosed are nomination forms for the four award categories to be presented during the 40th National Indian and Native American Employment / Public Law 102-477 Training. Recipients will be honored at the Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, April 17, 2019 at the Choctaw Conference Center.
