RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Approval of the Resolution Supporting CareerSource Escarosa’s Request to Modify the ITA/Training Expenditure Requirement from 50% to 35 % for Fiscal Year 2016-2017 - Tonya Gant, Neighborhood & Human Services Department Director

That the Board adopt and authorize the Chairman to sign the Resolution supporting CareerSource Escarosa's request to modify the ITA/Training Expenditure Requirement from 50% to 35% for Fiscal Year 2016-2017.

BACKGROUND:

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was signed into law in July 2014 by President Obama 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 Elected Officials.
