​Across Illinois, The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) along with its local and state partners is taking the lead in convening our economic development, business, and educational systems to create initiatives that fill the skills gap for employers and lead to living wage employment.  Highlights of these various initiatives are in the DCEO 2015 Illinois Workforce Development Annual Report.  The report provides the activities of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) partners and illustrates the strong relationship between Illinois businesses and the workforce development system.
