2007-2009
GUAM’S WORKFORCE STRATEGIC PLAN: YEARS 3 and 4

Guam’s Workforce development has embarked on a major effort to plan the territory’s workforce
future aligned with the new National Workforce Initiatives and guidelines.

Vision:

To provide leadership, strategic guidance, and resources that is valuable to the Workforce
Investment System.

Mission:

Our commitment is to provide program services to improve the quality of life and (to improve the
Standard of Living) of our citizens by maximizing their potential for employment in a competitive
economy

NEW STRATEGIC DIRECTION EMPHASIS AND CONTINUATION OF STRATEGIC


GOAL AREAS (TRANSFORMATION CONTEXT)

Guam’s Workforce Investment System continues to evolve reflecting a long history of the many
GWIB dealings and the varied challenges and shifting priorities shaping our island economy and
community. This experience continues and the latest round supports a demand-driven workforce
system with a shift toward a broader scope entitled: “Planning for Transformation” aligned
toward thinking regionally. The importance of thinking regionally allows our market economies to
build on our unique competitive advantages and creating a culture and climate of entrepreneurship
and innovation. The next two years leverages a more coherent operational base in support of
purposeful growth and high impact strategies that will rely on how well we achieve the alignment
of employment, education, and economic development resources and assets.

This document represents the culmination of the many workforce conversations, meetings,
conferences, and listening sessions over the past two years. These sessions continue to shape the
outcomes, actionable strategies, and goal areas with specific input coming from surveys, capacity
building sessions, and program delivery of pilot initiatives. This includes the most recent
comprehensive assessment of the Agency for Human Resources Development- One Stop Career
Center (OSCC) delivery system. The workforce strategic planning team presents a modified state
plan with the corresponding plans of work integrating the latest national strategic emphasis 1 . This
also includes the recent USDOL ETA, Region VI onsite review report requiring immediate
corrective actions and are incorporated into the applicable goals and prescribed actionable
strategies. This includes recommendations for refining current programming practices. These
revisions continue to build on the progress realized in the first two years and serves as essential
building blocks designed to enhance our workforce mission and vision. In summary, these
discussions express a common consensus from responsiveness on leveraged and integrated
systems toward transformation and refining/replicating best practices. This approach reflects our
uniqueness and sensitivities toward providing solutions for those looking for the best employer,
the best employee and the right career.

GUAM’S WORKFORCE STRATEGIC PLAN: YEARS 3 and 4

STRATEGIC PLAN FRAMEWORK

The proposed strategic goals and the accompanying objectives in the modified and new work plan
reflect a renewed emphasis on the success gained from implementing plans of work previously
framed under 10 separate goal areas and now integrated through this modified plan under 5 core
goals. The latest presentation continues to reaffirm the GWIB’s need to be relevant and to
continue to foster a climate for working toward a broader unified focus on achieving the quality
workforce Guam and the region deserves. This approach continues to integrate and transform the
efforts of both Guam’s Workforce Investment Board (GWIB) partner policies and programs, to
include the redirection of programs and resources directed by the Department of Labor/Agency
for Human Resources Development. In line with this, the Department of Labor/Agency for
Human Resources Development in concert with the GWIB have incorporated the latest addition of
the regional economies posturing by the Western Chief Executives 2 .

The first two years focused on years 1 and 2 strategic initiatives identified by past GWIB summits
and conferences and which continue to be core areas of programming interest and support. These
strategies follow the strategic direction in the U.S. Department of Labor State Planning Guidelines
(SPG) for the Pacific jurisdiction. The actionable elements in years 1 and 2 describe the support of
all the concerted efforts from the governance and programming levels. This includes plans that
address the integration efforts for programming, data reporting, accountability, case and portfolio
management, and expected overall improvements to our partnership and one-stop programming.

The portfolio review continues to build on the ongoing One-Stop systems assessments and
integration strategies for job development, job retention, and governance agreements.
Performance will reflect SPG performance measures or be tailored to reflect existing programs.
Criteria may change over this modified planning period for existing program review as issues and
workforce priorities emerge. This approach continues our leveraging strategies and investing in
capacity of our workforce system and begins to shape both economic analysis and workforce data
that will strengthen program evaluation and policies.

These overarching goals intend to be transformational goals that will begin to transition and
institutionalize the success of today’s workforce system. We expect that this alignment will result
in an effective delivery of programs responsive to a demand driven system for employers,
employees, youth, and adults and shifting to the next threshold of transforming our system to be
competitive. This plan continues to serve as a guiding piece for workforce funded collaborative
programs and their respective planning units and as a reference in developing new areas for plans
of work (POWs). These strategic goal areas embrace the following: Guam’s Workforce
Investment Infrastructure anchor system, Guam’s Workforce Delivery system and Guam’s
Workforce Community Collaboration system.

In support of our posturing for high growth, Goal areas 1 and 2 address the environmental context
to support growth-oriented businesses. This is will be realized through improving the quality of
the delivery and information environment to provide the right sustainable connection to nurture
and develop adaptable human resources. This also speaks directly to how well we deliver on the
business of providing job seekers access to skills and job training.

2007-2009
GUAM’S WORKFORCE STRATEGIC PLAN: YEARS 3 and 4

While the corresponding areas of working toward creating an acceptable business climate remain,
providing the right investment incentives for Guam and businesses improve both quality and
standard of living, provide adequate infrastructure necessary and establishes components for firms
to grow and invest more. These continuous improvements require synchronizing efforts and equal
attention from all fronts. We continue to strengthen and institutionalize the right processes that
create a dynamic economy, sourcing various workforce best practices that reflect both today and
preparing for the future demands of our work environment. To navigate successfully through the
many workforce challenges that lay ahead, the modified and expanded goals provide the support
needed and the necessary programming and delivery infrastructure. The OSCC, Goal 1, and Goal
2 (One Workforce Reporting System - Data collection and alignment) continue to be our
programming emphasis. The addition of the eWorkforce initiative provides the just in time and
right connection to the world of electronic commerce and two-way communications to receive
information and disseminate current information for job seekers and employers.

Delivering on the life long learning and learning continuum philosophy is captured through the
nestled sub plans embedded within Goal 3; and represents our colorful descriptor of capturing
Guam’s diverse audience and their placement within the modeled learning continuum. The YADIS
represents our sensitivity to the unique challenges and issues that surround workforce
development and investment pertaining to youth, adults, dislocated, incumbent workers, and the
latest addition Senior Citizens. YADIS represents our purposeful blending strategy designed to
ensure cross planning occurs across all workforce programs supporting but not limited to this core
group. This includes programming efforts to fold continuing education into non-traditional
pathways by engaging both communities and nongovernmental organizations. Moving the Youth
learning continuum agenda calls for feeder initiatives and strategies for youth employability
training/academic remediation achieved through the GWIB’s Youth-to-Work: Passports to
Careers as a core emphasis. While there are many variations of programming, and training
curriculums for youth, Passport-to-Careers begins a much needed shift to individual program
efforts toward fostering a coordinated program environment through the offering of a family of
common programs for youth career /training/education programs. All in support of increasing the
opportunities for preparing Guam’s youth for productive careers and work. This sub plan area also
represents the workgroup consortia composed of the various educational institutions and
committees and represents our proposed strategies to address the neediest youth agenda (Sub
POW 3A2). All this adds to the growing need to support a Talent Development strategy calling for
overall support across the spectrum of job seekers accessing skills and job training and resources
to offset the cost of continuing education and training (POW3E).

The support for life long learning continuum welcomes the recent Apprenticeship programming
efforts. This is evident in the passage of local legislation Public Law 28-42 the Guam Registered
Apprenticeship Program 3 (GRAP) and the finalizing of rules and regulations for carrying out the
program elements. This also includes broader support through the creation of a Joint-training
board for Guam and the region creating a focal point for promoting and supporting a positive
environment for connecting future apprentices to right training and career pathways (POW 3B).
This goal area seeks to also expand and strengthen efforts around the many strategies designed
primarily to create sustainable feeder systems for pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship
programs.

2007-2009
GUAM’S WORKFORCE STRATEGIC PLAN: YEARS 3 and 4

The shift from a Guam only Workforce System towards a region wide workforce agenda
represents the latest addition to the jurisdictions regional economies framework. This includes the
establishment of the Regional Workforce Development Council and their specific task of
developing a Regional Workforce Strategic Development Plan in support of the various
workgroup workforce issues along the seven (7) priorities identified by the Western Chiefs of
Micronesia 2 . (POW3F and Plan of Work 4F: 4F1, 4F2).

Fostering the right environment for Entrepreneurship Education builds on the successful best
practices from partners and collaborators both locally, regionally and nationally. This calls for
specific investments in fostering an entrepreneurial climate that encourages local business start-
up and requires a myriad of innovative non-traditional strategies. These are start points that begin
to build on the various strategies and aligns well with the regional economies approach (POW
3C).

Goal area 4 and the ensuing sub plans of work weaves the empowering communities thread
through the dynamic multi-stakeholder collaborator environment. The national trend for increased
partnerships with community collaborators requires a firm understanding of collaboration and the
desired outcome that bring members together to achieve certain desired results. Understanding the
various community linkages and practices of the various levels of collaboration (networks,
alliances, associations, partnerships, coalitions, etc.) will ensure that the power structures respond
accordingly and have the right capacity. Creating effective boards and committees speaks to the
general programming environment of engaging leadership and effective governance and shift
from antiquated practices to updated protocol and accountability practices (Sub POW 4B and
4B1 Goal 5).

Folded in Goal area 4 is the community-based approach toward the much-anticipated high growth
impact of proposed military growth, posturing, and planning activities proposed by the established
11 Civilian Military Task Force Subcommittees. The Civilian Labor Workforce subcommittee
(Sub POW 4C) continues to meet to address the range of workforce issues and challenges poised
by this high growth agenda. Current efforts include the assessment of the OSCC program delivery
and attention to both workforce capacity and support for military spouses and dependents (Sub
POW 4C2), and community outreach and impact assessments (Sub POW 4C2, 4C3) add to the list
of high priority strategies for addressing the island’s growth shock around this community.

Goal 5 provides the context for accountability and shaping the range of technical assistance
offerings that we can consider as part of our funding strategies. The latest commitment is the
addition of the Department’s Retention and Monitoring Unit (RMU). This also provides the basis
for continuing our efforts to build and invest in prudent fiscal and management systems and
human capital resources as we engage resources and expertise and technical assistance.

This is a continuing work in progress that will be refined and lead toward the (5) year
comprehensive strategic plan. Suggested statements intend to provide realistic and achievable
guidelines for program effectiveness, delivery, and accountability as intended by the SPG
framework: *Note much of the proposed actionable strategies are designed to be flexible and may
be amended as needed.

Plan of Work (POW) 2A: Improving Workforce Information and Reporting System

Designing and improving the management and the accountability of programs supported by
Federal funding for Guam’s Workforce system requires changes to the process by which partners
and the workforce system operate. An integrated workforce reporting system provides the
mandate, the direction and overall framework for workforce programming, timely reporting and
credible information system. To be successful, this goal area builds on the initializing efforts of
the Pacific WIASRD and is consistent with the intergovernmental partnership and programming
structure of the Federal DOL ETA.

A key feature of this section is the accountability components that begin to capture program
outcomes that can quantify productivity and or determine efficiency and effectiveness of the
current process practices.

National Key Program Components:


Customers making informed choices based on quality workforce information and
accessing quality training providers;
Improved development and delivery of workforce information to support workforce
investment boards in their strategic planning and investments;
Reporting against the common performance measures established for the Pacific
Jurisdiction in concert with Region 6 of the Employment and Training Administration;

STRATEGIC GOAL 5: Strengthen Guam’s Workforce Investment Governance and
Workforce Community Leadership System

Plan of Work 5A GWIB Governance Flow Process

The direction of the GWIB board requires capacity building to support the initializing goals and
overarching goals to achieve the vision and mission of the ideal workforce for Guam. The
governance serves as the anchor for creating accountable systems that include program design,
program delivery and outreach across all program platforms. This is necessary to assess the
effectiveness of governance tools and practices. This Goal intends to initialize and align all
business policies as approved and prioritized by the Board. One important outcome of planning
towards a demand driven workforce begins with redefining the performing and governance
environment for training and service providers, partners, industry and the community.

Governance posturing will include more resources and commitment to support this expected
increased in programming. This will include the need for additional program personnel such as
additional planners, access to legal counsel for reviewing contracts and RFP disputes and other
related legal issues. The services of a procurement officer will also be of value and will be
included as a standard protocol in all RFP reviews, design and selection.

National Key Program Components:


Realizing the reforms envisioned by the WIA;
Incorporating new statutory and regulatory requirements that have evolved since the
passage of WIA, such as priority of services for veterans as prescribed by the Jobs for
Veterans Act (P.L. 107-288);

structuring their workforce investment systems;
Reporting against the common performance measures
