Staff warn of statewide IWDS 2.0 problems; Elgin reporting required manual workarounds
Summary
County workforce staff said the state’s IWDS 2.0 rollout caused reporting issues that pulled Elgin Community College into Cook County’s configuration and forced manual migrations; staff are working with state partners and developing local workarounds to prevent training delays.
Adam, speaking for the Office of Community Reinvestment, told the committee that Illinois’s new IWDS 2.0 workforce system rollout has produced major statewide issues for subgrantees and has required hands‑on corrections.
"The state of Illinois has implemented a new workforce development system known as IWDS 2.0," Adam said, and he described how Elgin Community College — a subgrantee for youth and adult programs — was incorrectly assigned to another county configuration during the migration. Staff said they developed manual workarounds and are coordinating with the state to restore correct participant reporting so that training accounts are available to students.
Adam warned that if students cannot access training accounts, classes and semester starts can be delayed, and he credited local staff, including Lindsay Hutchinson, with helping design state workarounds to reduce participant impacts.
