BACKGROUND:

On May 24, 2021, the Family and Human Services Committee received a status report from the Employment and Human Services Department and staff of the Workforce Development Board on the implementation of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. The report is attached.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The most recent status update to the Board of Supervisors was on May 7, 2019.

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 (FHS).

WIOA was signed into law on July 22, 2014. WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. Congress passed the Act by a wide bipartisan majority; it is the first legislative reform in 15 years of the public workforce system. WIOA was expected to significantly impact the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) and the way the Workforce Development Board does its work. Therefore, updates on the impacts and changes was referred to FHS.
