Integral to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act is the Workforce Solution Center which brings together multiple programs and services in a seamless manner to job seekers and business customers.
This system is intended to be accessed through a variety of mechanisms including physical/walk-in service access, electronic linkages, Internet, and other methods. The focus of this system is on meeting the needs of the customer through the following four principles:
Universal Access: All individuals have access to the One-Stop system and to core employment services.
Customer Choice: Eligible individuals have the ability to choose training providers who can best meet their specific needs.
Integration of Services: Customers are able to conveniently access the employment, education, training, and information services they need at a single location.
Performance-Driven System: The One-Stop Center System is based on performance and outcome measures and is accountable for meeting customer needs.
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA) was the first major overhaul of the workforce development system since the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) . The intent of WIOA is to create a seamless system of service delivery by bringing together a number of training, education, and employment programs to create a new workforce investment system driven by integration of services, customer choice, universal access, increased accountability, strong roles for business, local workforce investment boards, state and local flexibility, and improved youth programs.
