Summary: WIA vs WIOA. Review from Feb 3 webinar Integrated English Literacy Civics Education is a dramatic departure Different and expanded activities Need for different ELL populations But, two models exist under the law One is required A review of the law itself, and the definitions, programs and activities, will clarify what grantees must implement in July 1 and when the program must include a workforce training component and when it can be implemented without training, as it historically has. This difference is critical to your program planning, identification of suitable instructors, costs, program outreach and alignments with the Workforce Solutions system.
