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 LWDA under WIOA. The Governor and Secretary of the Labor and Workforce
Development Agency concurred with the recommendation 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

Youth funds for administrative costs. Ten percent of the additional Dislocated Worker funds is
$48.70 and will be utilized for miscellaneous expenses. The remaining Dislocated Worker funds
will be utilized to provide career and training services to participants in the community that need
assistance. Rapid Response funds will be used to plan for and respond to layoffs and
dislocations, and preventing or minimizing their impacts on workers and businesses. The 15%
Governor's Discretionary funds will be utilized to implement the CalJOBS VOS Enhancement,
Touch Screen Technology project upon further direction from EDD.
