Following overwhelming bipartisan support in both the Senate and the House, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was signed into law by President Obama on July 22, 2014. WIOA modernizes the federal workforce development system with its expansive network of one-stop centers. These one-stop centers can assist you by helping employers of all sizes meet your staffing needs. This session will provide practical ways to effectively partner with state and local workforce investment boards, which oversee much of the strategic direction and prioritizing of federal employment and training dollars.
