To accomplish this purpose, the Commission is empowered to the fullest extent permitted by law to coordinate the funding and activities of each element of the state’s workforce development programs, systems, and entities; to achieve better alignment, accountability, and results for the state’s workforce development efforts; and to act as the principal point of contact regarding workforce development for public officials, businesses, and the public.
