General Overview

• Maintains existing structure of the

law , four titles:

• Title I: Occupational Training
• Title II: Adult Basic Education
• Title III: Wagner Peyser

,

• Title IV: Vocational Rehabilitation
• Maintains funding structure, does not

create a block grant or otherwise consolidate existing funding streams.

Highlights of WIOA Title IV: Voc Rehab

Emphasizes the need for youth with disabilities to have more opportunities to practice and improve their workplace skills, to consider their career interests, and to get real world work experience. Requires VR agencies to make “pre-employment transition services” available to all students with disabilities. Requires VR agencies to set aside at least 15 percent of funds to provide pre-employment transition services to assist students with disabilities Allows State VR agencies to prioritize serving students with disabilities and support advanced training in STEM and CTE Dedicates half of the Federal Supported Employment program funds to provide youth with the most significant disabilities with the supports they need, including extended services, to enable them to obtain competitive integrated employment.

Highlights of Title II: Adult Basic Ed

Strengthens alignment between adult education, postsecondary education, and employers Supports educational and career advancement for incarcerated individuals Codifies the integrated English Literacy and Civics education (IEL/CE) program – These programs must lead to employment Promotes activities to improve the quality of adult education program – Including inclusion in State and Local plans, common performance measures, research and evaluation, etc.

Key Infrastructure Changes

• WIBs: Maintains existing structure, with business

majority and chair. Reduces required members

• State and local plans: Requires new

, unified state plan for all “core” programs. Local plans must be aligned with state plan

• American Job Centers: Must assess effectiveness,

accessibility, and continuous improvement at least every 3 years

Enable employers to identify and hire skilled workers and access other supports, including education and training for their current workforce. Support continuous improvement by identifying which strategies work better for different populations; states, local areas, and training providers remain accountable for performance;

Human Centered Design

Brainstorm new ways to serve your customers. Get inspired by the people you’re serving. Start by listening to people to get new ideas about how to design for them. Try out a pilot program and experiment with ways to implement your new ideas. Identify patterns and surprising insights to inspire new

• pportunities

for design. Try out your ideas and get feedback from customers – so you can revise your prototypes and get more feedback.
