Planning & Measurement

The Gulf Coast Workforce Board is responsible for leading and governing the workforce system across Texas’s 13-county Gulf Coast region. As the region’s sole workforce board, one of its key responsibilities is strategic planning.

A primary challenge for the Board is to set clear direction and focus for workforce activities in the region, strategically leveraging limited resources to achieve Board-established outcomes. Meeting these ambitious goals requires a strategic plan that both defines the Board’s expectations for the regional workforce system.

The Board is dedicated to its Strategic Plan and commits to regularly reviewing and refining it to ensure alignment with the community’s evolving needs. This commitment means that every major decision, program, and project is assessed for alignment with the Board’s overarching vision.

The Strategic Plan serves as a roadmap for managing the regional workforce system, with Board members and staff focused on advancing the system toward four specific goals.
