| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
On July 22, 2014, President Obama signed the Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act (WIOA), replacing the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA). WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training and support services to succeed in the labor market and match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. WIA and WIOA regulations require that each local area establish a workforce development board, known as the Workforce Investment Board under WIA and as the Workforce Innovation Board under WIOA. The workforce development board is charged with oversight of State of California authorized grants to fund Dislocated Worker, Adult, Youth, Rapid Response, discretionary funds and competitive grants, among other things.
Workforce Innovation Board (WIB) and Bylaws:
On May 8, 2008, the Board adopted Resolution 08-77 establishing the Workforce Investment Board Bylaws as required by WIA. With the transition to WIOA, the Workforce Investment Board and Bylaws must be repealed and replaced with the Workforce Innovation Board and Bylaws, as required by WIOA. On March 27, 2015, the Board adopted Resolution 15-28, repealing Resolution 00-53, which established the Workforce Investment Board. Approval of this item will establish the Workforce Innovation Board, as required by WIOA; repeal Resolution 08-77, which established the Workforce Investment Board Bylaws; and approve the resolution to establish Workforce Innovation Board Bylaws.
Workforce Innovation Board Roster:
With the creation of the new Workforce Innovation Board under WIOA, the Board of Supervisors must approve the roster. The Workforce Innovation Board members serve 4 year terms and serve as an intermediary to assist the local service administration to respond to the business community. Members provide direction for the establishment of programs designed to prepare eligible youth, dislocated workers, and unskilled adults for entry into the labor force. |
