<br />MOUs with WIA Mandated Partners <br />August 18, 2008 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) requires the Santa Ana Workforce <br />Investment Board (WIB) establish a one-stop delivery system, which is to <br />provide workforce development services for local adults, dislocated <br />workers, youth and employers. The one-stop delivery system is a network <br />of WIA mandated and optional partners who are responsible for providing <br />services for training and employment opportunities authorized by the Act. <br />The City of Santa Ana currently operates the One-Stop Center. <br /> <br />The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) provides for collaboration by all <br />of the one-stop partners and creates a seamless system of service <br />delivery designed to enhance access to the programs' services and improve <br />long term employment outcomes for the individuals receiving services <br />(Exhibit 1). The MOU contains the provisions required by the WIA, which <br />includes services to be provided through the one-stop delivery system; <br />the funding of these services and operating costs of the system; and the <br />methods for referring individuals between the one-stop operators and <br />partners. The MOU will be in effect for a period of two years. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br /> <br />cYnt~7Jb~ <br /> <br />Deputy City Manager for Development Services <br />Community Development Agency <br /> <br />CJN/LS/FJ/mlr <br /> <br />080408 MODs WIA MandatedPartners <br /> <br />25H-2 <br />
