Description
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) provides funding for workforce development programs, including the Wagner-Peyser Act Employment Service Program and the Workforce Information Grants to States. The document discusses the allotments for Program Year (PY) 2019, including the total appropriated funds, the formula for distributing funds among states, and the requirements for states to manage their programs. The key aspects of the job include managing federal funds, following financial reporting requirements, and ensuring compliance with WIOA regulations. The scope of work involves distributing funds among local workforce areas, calculating sub-state allocations, and ensuring that the state policy articulated in the approved State Plan remains consistent with the guidance provided.
Some of the key points to consider include:
* The total appropriated funds for WIOA Youth Activities in PY 2019 is $903,416,000.
* The formula for distributing funds among states is based on factors such as the number of unemployed individuals, excess unemployed individuals, and disadvantaged youth.
* States must distribute funds among local workforce areas, subject to a 15% limitation for statewide employment and training activities.
* States may use either the allocation formula or a discretionary formula to distribute funds to local areas.
* The discretionary formula must incorporate additional factors related to excess youth poverty and excess unemployment above the state average.
* States must ensure that the state policy articulated in the approved State Plan remains consistent with the guidance provided.
* The Department of Labor will provide information on Native American Youth allotments in a separate TEGL.
* The document also discusses the allotments for the Wagner-Peyser Act Employment Service Program and the Workforce Information Grants to States.
