DISCUSSION The federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was signed into law on July 22, 2014. WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. WIOA supersedes the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and is the first legislative reform of the public workforce system in 15 years. The Act went into effect on July 1, 2015 with the Department of Labor responsible for its implementation. California is a direct recipient of WIOA funding and contracts with designated Local Workforce Development Areas (LWDA) to address workforce needs of employers and the community. The California Workforce Investment Board recommended approval that Santa Ana be designated as a local workforce development area under WIOA. The Governor and Secretary of the Labor and Workforce Development Agency concurred with the recommendation. The designation is from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2017 and will be reviewed and evaluated every two years against federal performance and compliance outcomes. On August 18, 2015, City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary documents with the Workforce Services Division of the State Employment Development Department (EDD) related to the WIOA program through June 30, 2018. 20A -1 Appropriation Adjustment – WIOA Rapid Response Grant Funds January 17, 2017 Page 2 EDD has disbursed additional Rapid Response program funds to Santa Ana through unilateral sub -grant modifications to the agreement for Program Year 2016 -17.
