Signed into law by President Obama in July 2014, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) can help job seekers and workers with and without disabilities succeed in finding jobs by matching employers with skilled workers who receive education, skills training, and career services. At a state and local level, Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) use a unified state planning process that will focus on cross system collaboration (Title I Adult and Youth programs and services with Wagner-Peyser Employment Services and Title I of the Rehabilitation Act programs).

WIOA offers new support for job seekers with disabilities that increases responsibility of WIBs and American Job Centers to be fully accessible and offer accommodations that help job seekers with disabilities find and use skills training to work in the current job market.

Because the regulations for implementing WIOA are not expected until the Spring of 2015, join us for this webinar series to help you understand the possibilities of WIOA from a disability perspective.
