What are the Benchmarks of Success?
Placing people before performance means that Maryland’s workforce system is dedicated to focusing its efforts on those who need our assistance the most and improving the lives of Marylanders.
Defined
Benchmarks of Success is a leadership tool that reflects a shared vision of excellence among the State’s workforce system partners – five strategic goals are organized around an overall vision to increase the earning capacity of Marylanders…
- By maximizing access to employment,
- By maximizing access to and use of skills and credentialing
- By maximizing access to and use of life management skills,
- By eliminating barriers to employment through the use of supportive services, and
