The Workforce Investment Act Intro:
The federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 repeals the Job Training Partnership Act and changes the role of the respective Board. The Private Industry Council that served under the Job Training Partnership Act was primarily an advisory Board. The Workforce Investment Board is designed as a policy Board. The Act was built around five key principles:
|
-
Streamline services in a one-stop environment that gives all job seekers a "no wrong door approach" to job training.
-
Empower job seekers to choose training through the use of vouchers (Individual Training Accounts) and a "consumer report" containing performance information on training providers.
-
Provider universal access to the workforce development system.
-
Strengthen accountability through strict performance measures including placement rates, earnings and retention through a system of continuous improvement.
-
Ensure a strong leadership role for business through business-led boards with real authority to plan, oversee, and change the workforce system at the local level.
