Information

Referral History:

On January 6, 2015 the Board of Supervisors referred oversight and receipt of updates on the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to the Family and Human Services Committee.

Referral Update:

On September 14, 2015, the Family and Human Services Committee (FHS) received a report from the Employment and Human Services Department Workforce Development Board on the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). Included in this report was an estimated timeline of actions the Department of Labor and State would take in order to implement WIOA. It was expected that by February 2015, final guidance would be issued on the initial local area designation and local board recertification. FHS requested that the department return with a report after such guidance was issued and the department was prepared to provide an update on these areas.

The California Workforce Investment Board and the Employment Development Department has established policies and procedures to fully comply with the new WIOA requirements for subsequent local area designation and local board recertification. In response, the Employment and Human Services Department Workforce Development Board has prepared recommendations that comply with these requirements and has provided the attached report.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

ACCEPT the report from the Employment and Human Services Department Workforce Development Board on the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and forward it to the Board of Supervisors.

RECOMMEND to the Board of Supervisors the following actions:

1. Decertify the current Workforce Investment Act (WIA) local board and vacate all members from that board.
