About this file
The document is an informational sheet about the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and administered by the US Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration. The WIOA, signed into law on July 22, 2014, replaces the previous Workforce Investment Act and is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services while matching employers with skilled workers to compete in the global economy. The act establishes a One-Stop delivery system that provides comprehensive workforce development services.
The WIOA offers both "core" and "intensive" services to job seekers, with core services available to all adults at no cost, including initial skills assessments, job search assistance, career counseling, and labor market information. Intensive services are targeted at unemployed individuals who cannot find jobs through core services alone, and include more comprehensive assessments, individual employment plans, counseling, and case management. The act promotes individual responsibility through Individual Training Accounts, allowing adult customers to choose their own training programs. Additionally, the act provides supportive services such as transportation assistance and temporary income support to help participants remain in training and successfully enter the workforce.
