WIOA Implementation
• Are we seeing a changing vision or is this WIA tweaked to make it a bit better/more relevant?–More focused on business workforce needs, regional thinking,
economic development?–Work-based training strategies replacing classroom training models?– Programs focused on disengaged out-of-school youth?
• Are staff (front line, as well as middle and senior management) supportive of this vision?

Activity: Crafting Our Strategic Direction - Who do we need at the table?
Who are the critical partners needed for each activity?
• Who’s already doing things that already inform our plan? How is economic development being done? How is transportation being done?
• How do we connect with those who are already doing?
• What best practices can we glean from?
• What best practices do we have to share that can be used as a strategy to reposition us?

WRAP-UP & NEXT STEPS
1155 15th Street NW, Suite 350 Washington, DC, 20005 wwww.nawb.org www.workforceinvestmentworks.com
Critical Decisions that We Might Discuss
• Local and regional area issues• Truly integrated on-stop career centers• Local boards that act strategically• Competitive procurement• Performance Standards• Priority of service• Fiscal issues• Lack of buy-in from ______ [boards, elected officials, state agencies, local
nonprofits, schools, organized labor, other]• Other ????
1155 15th Street NW, Suite 350 Washington, DC, 20005 wwww.nawb.org www.workforceinvestmentworks.com
Elected Officials and the New Boards
• Elected officials play a key role and often have been overlooked as WIA became predictable; now they must make key decisions and board appointments
• Orientation for elected officials essential but also for new boards and community partners
1155 15th Street NW, Suite 350 Washington, DC, 20005 wwww.nawb.org www.workforceinvestmentworks.com
Key Board Decisions• What sectors to focus on and who leads these efforts• One-Stop Operator• Service Providers• MOUs and One-Stop Infrastructure Costs (some ambiguity as
to whether this is a board or operator function)• Development of a Strategic Plan for Local Area or Region
1155 15th Street NW, Suite 350 Washington, DC, 20005 wwww.nawb.org www.workforceinvestmentworks.com
Moving Forward: Our Map
• This is what we must do• This is how we will do it• This is when we will get
it done• These are the strategic
partners who we need at the table
• This is how we will define and measure success

One-Stops: Are They the Same or Will We See Big Changes?
• Board must choose its role: operator, service provider, both, neither
• Board must define the roles of the operator–What is the view of the board, local officials, state and current
providers on this issue?
• Board establishes competitive procurement process for operator, youth and maybe service providers

FIREWALLS!!!
State RegulationsFinal Federal RegulationsLocal Boards Need to Settle these
issues up front and soon
1155 15th Street NW, Suite 350 Washington, DC, 20005 wwww.nawb.org www.workforceinvestmentworks.com
Work-Based Learning
• Do boards have the capacity to organize key economic sectors? Are sectors supportive? Are affordable solutions to workforce needs likely?
• Can WIOA staff “sell” OJT, organize customized training programs, develop work experience, try-out employment and internships on a significant scale?
• Can one-stops succeed at helping low-wage workers combine that work with education and training opportunities? What priority will it get?
1155 15th Street NW, Suite 350 Washington, DC, 20005 wwww.nawb.org www.workforceinvestmentworks.com
…More Decisions
• Board can hire staff and develop a budget• Board can set its legal structure: nonprofit, part of government
agency, other• CLEO chooses fiscal agent• The oddity of Bylaws in the NPRM• Training provider, especially in rural areas• OJT, customized training and incumbent worker policies
