3. 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.

Integrated English Literacy Civics Education Part 2- Models

10. WIOA Section 231 and 243 Bottom line:
Understanding the two sections, and associated funding, is critical.
Bottom line:
IEL/CE can be funded through both section 231 and 243 funds
If funded with Section 243 funds though, it must be integrated with Integrated Education and Training
See the February 3, 2016Webinar: Integrated English Literacy Civics Education.
