WIOA Vision
To achieve and maintain an integrated, job-driven workforce system

first-rate customer service to
jobseekers, workers, and businesses.
● The demands of businesses and
workers drive workforce solutions.
● The workforce system supports strong
regional economies.
WIOA
Six Broad Goals of WIOA

2. Better align workforce investment, education and economic
development systems
3. Improve relevance of workers skills and credentials
4. Serve needs of employers, workers and job seekers
5. Increase job retention, earning and credential attainment to
reduce welfare dependency
6. Increase prosperity, productivity, economic growth and global
competitiveness
WIOA Titles
Title I Programs
Title I is the primary source of
federal workforce development
funding to prepare low-
income adults, youth, and
dislocated workers for
employment, and to help them
continue to build skills once
they are employed.
WIOA Titles
Title II & Title III Programs
● Title II is the main source of federal
adult education and literacy funding,
including English language services.
● Title III funds the Wagner-Peyser
Employment Services program,
which provides labor exchange
services that match employers with
qualified job seekers.
WIOA Titles
Title IV Programs
Title IV funds Vocational
Rehabilitation which supports
a wide range of services
designed to help individuals
with disabilities prepare for and
engage in gainful employment,
and secure financial and
personal independence through
rehabilitative services.
WIOA Titles Align with
Core Programs
1. Title IB programs (i.e., services for
adults, dislocated workers and youth)
2. Wagner-Peyser Employment Services
3. Adult Education
4. Vocational Rehabilitation
WIOA Identifies Four “Core” Programs
Transitioning to WIOA
Local Governance
Local Governance
● WIOA expands the strategic
roles of workforce
development boards.
● WIOA positions boards to
address the workforce needs
of local and regional
employers.
Local Workforce Boards
● Local boards is similar to WIA
but with different requirements
for required members.
● Local boards may appoint
standing committees such as a
youth committee, a One-Stop
partner committee, and a
committee focused on serving
individuals with disabilities.
Local Workforce Board Membership
Minimum Membership
● Business Representatives
● Workforce Representatives
● Other Representatives to include:
○ Adult Education/Literacy Providers
○ Higher Education (including community
colleges)
○ Economic and Community Development
○ Wagner-Peyser Employment Services
○ Vocational Rehabilitation
○ May include others determined appropriate
by chief elected officials
Local Workforce Board Functions
Responsibilities
P.L. 112-128 Sec. 107(d)
Unified Planning
The unified planning
requirement ensures that
employment and training
services provided by the
four core programs are
coordinated and
complementary.
Focus on Regional Collaboration
WIOA promotes alignment
of workforce development
programs with regional
economic development
strategies to meet the
needs of local and
regional employers.
Focus on Regional Collaboration
● States are required to
identify regions within
their state.
● A regional plan is now
required.
● Local areas in identified
regions will have
coordinated planning and
service delivery strategies.
Local Plans
• Align to state strategy
• Describe strategies to align
local services to regional labor
market needs
• Must include description of
strategies and services to align
and coordinate resources,
including resources of the core
program partners
WIOA Funding
Out-of-School Youth Priority
WIOA requires 75% of state and local
Youth funding be used for out-of-
school youth.
50% exception for states that
receive a minimum allotment.
75% requirement was recently
relaxed through TEGL 23-14
recognizing transition
difficulties
Transferring and Targeting Funding
● Local boards can transfer
100% of funds between
Dislocated Worker and Adult
programs.
● Up to 10% of both funds
can be used for transitional
jobs for individuals with
barriers to employment.
Local Boards
Transferring and Targeting Funding
Funding for State Initiatives
Governors can allocate
up to 15% of Adult,
Dislocated Worker,
and Youth funds for
statewide activities.
One-Stop Center Service
Design
Service Integration
● WIOA is intended to increase the quality,
integration, and accessibility of services.
● Services are delivered via One-Stop centers,
as in WIA. Wagner-Peyser Employment
Services cannot stand alone, and must be
delivered at one-stop centers with few
exceptions.
● States encouraged to develop integrated
intake, case management, reporting systems,
and fiscal and management accountability
systems.
One-Stop Centers
● Each local area must have 1 comprehensive
One-Stop center that provides access to the
services of all required partners.
● A local area may also have affiliate One-Stop
centers with any subset of partners, or
specialized centers.
● Local boards certify One-Stop centers every 3
years, using criteria established by the state
board.
● One-Stop operators to be selected through a
competitive process.
Sixteen Required Partners
● Career and Technical Education (Perkins Act)
● Community Services Block Grant
● Indian and Native American Programs
● HUD Employment and Training Programs
● Job Corps
● Local Veterans’ Employment Representatives and
Disabled Veterans’ Outreach Program
● National Farmworker Jobs Program
● Senior Community Service Employment Program
● TANF (under WIOA Governor can waive requirement)
● Trade Adjustment Assistance Programs
● Unemployment Compensation Programs
● YouthBuild
Four core programs and twelve One-Stop system partner programs:
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
● The MOU will describe:
○ Services provided and coordinated
through the One-Stop system.
○ How One-Stop center infrastructure
costs will be shared.
○ Other shared services and costs.
○ Referral methods among partners.
● MOUs will be reviewed every 3 years.
Local Boards Must Negotiate a MOU with all Local One-Stop
Partners
One-Stop Center Infrastructure Funding
● One-Stop partners must contribute to the infrastructure
costs of the One-Stop centers.
● The Governor must provide guidance to State-administered
programs
● The Governor will also give local areas guidance to help
stabilize funding.
● Local boards negotiate with One-Stop partners.
● If a local board is unable to reach agreement, a state
infrastructure mechanism kicks in.
● Local MOU must describe how One-Stop infrastructure costs are
funded.
Common Identifier
● A common identifier will help job
seekers and employers readily access
services.
● WIOA allows states, local areas, and
other partners to have additional
identifiers.
● ETA is consulting with state and local
boards and stakeholders.
● After the Department of Labor Secretary announces the identifier, the
ETA will provide guidance and technical assistance on identifier
implementation.
Robust and Effective

system.
● WIOA envisions continuous improvement of labor
market and workforce information through
collaboration among federal agencies, states, and
the new Workforce Information Advisory Council.
Service Delivery and Performance Accountability
