| Description |
The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) authorizes the use of funds to adult programs that provides a wide range of employment and training services from basic job attainment and job keeping skills to assistance with improving basic education skills, to occupational skills training. In addition, job search and job placement assistance is provided. JobLink partners ensure that appropriate services based on individual needs are provided in a coordinated and friendly manner. An employment plan is developed providing a written strategy that identifies the individual's employment goals and the appropriate combination of services necessary to achieve this goal.
WIA provides for three levels of services: core services; intensive services; and training. Individuals may access training services through individual training accounts. The cornerstone of this new workforce development system is One-Stop service delivery that unifies numerous training, education and employment programs in a single, customer-friendly system in local communities. The underlying principle of One-Stop is the coordination of programs and services, and governance structures so that the customer has access to a seamless system of workforce investment services. Through the One-Stop system, the workforce investment system is the gateway to a variety of employment, training, educational and other human resources programs. In North Carolina, the One-Stop delivery system is called the JobLink Career Center System. Any individual has access to the One-Stop system and to basic employment-related services. North Carolina has indicated that it will provide priority consideration for adult training services to low-income individuals, welfare recipients and veterans
