  10 Combined Plan: Vision Statement AllMassachusetts residents will benefit from a seamless system of education and workforce services that supports career pathways for individuals and leads to a more informed, educated, and skilled workforce, which meets the Commonwealth’s businesses’ demands and sustains a thriving economy. To achieve this vision, Massachusetts will engage businesses to understand their needs and develop an integrated education and workforce system that supports career pathways to prepare residents with foundation, technical, professional skills and information and connections to postsecondary education and training. WIOA partners will work to: • Design career pathways across partners aligned with business demand • Improve foundation skills and transition to postsecondary education and training for individuals with barriers to employment • Assist low-income individuals and families to achieve economic self-sufficiency through support services, labor-market driven credentialing, and employment • Meet the needs of job seekers and businesses who engage in the public workforce system (including partner programs)
