RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Approval of the Workforce Escarosa (d/b/a CareerSource Escarosa) Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Budget - Tonya Gant, Neighborhood & Human Services Department Director

That the Board take the following action:

A. Adopt and authorize the Chairman to sign a Resolution supporting CareerSource Escarosa's request to waive the ITA/Training Expenditure requirement of 50% and to establish the ITA/Training Expenditure requirement at 35%. Due to the requirement of an indirect cost rate and the method used to determine the rate funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2015-2016, training fund allocations will be significantly impacted as to what services may be reduced or no longer available for the approximately 500 students per semester, projected to be served with program funds; and

B. Approve the CareerSource Escarosa FY 2015-2016 Budget, in the amount of $6,474,286.

BACKGROUND:

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was signed into law in July 2014 by PresidentObama as a measure to provide a renewed commitment to workforce development and is designed to increase opportunities, decrease barriers to employment, and invests in education and career preparation. One primary focus is on the economic growth in the US to enhance global competitiveness as a country. The Regional Workforce Board Accountability Act (RWBAA) amended the Florida Workforce Innovation Act which requires 50% of WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker funds to be used for tuition, books and training provider fees, but allows for a waiver if supported by the Chief ElectedOfficials. The RWBAA requires the Chief Elected Officials to review and approve the budget for Workforce Escarosa, Inc., dba CareerSource Escarosa.
