WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and <br />support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers <br />they need to compete in the global economy. WIOA supersedes the Workforce Investment Act of <br />1998 and is the first legislative reform of the public workforce system in 15 years. The WIOA went <br />into effect on July 1, 2015 with the Department of Labor responsible for its implementation. <br />California is a direct recipient of WIOA funding and contracts with designated Local Workforce <br />Development Areas (LWDA) to address workforce needs of employers and the community. <br />The California Workforce Investment Board recommended approval that Santa Ana be <br />designated as a local workforce development area under WIOA. The Governor and Secretary of <br />the Labor and Workforce Development Agency concurred with the recommendation. The <br />designation is from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2017 and will be reviewed and evaluated every two <br />years against federal performance and compliance outcomes. <br />20A -1 <br />
