The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) , requires that the Santa Ana Workforce
Investment Board (WIB) establish a One-Stop delivery system which
provides workforce development services. The One Stop delivery system is
a network of WIA mandated and optional partners that are responsible for
providing a variety of services, which lead to training and employment
opportuni ties for adults, dislocated workers and local youth. The City
of Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center currently operates the One-Stop center for
the WIB. The WIA specifies that the WIA funded Adult and Dislocated
Worker programs must be provided through the One Stop delivery system,
and that partners must participate in the operation of the system and the
delivery of these services.

One-Stop partners is created for a seamless system of service delivery
designed to enhance access to the program's services and improve long-
