Workforce Investment Act
The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) offers a comprehensive approach to providing workforce investment activities through statewide and local systems.
The most important aspect of the Act is its focus on meeting the needs of businesses for skilled workers and the training, education, and employment needs of individuals. Key components of the Act are that it:
- Enables customers to easily access the information and services they need through the "One-Stop" system (a network of employment, education, and training services at the local, state, and national level).
- Empowers adults to obtain the training they find most appropriate through Individual Training Accounts, and ensures that all State and local programs meet customer expectations.
