  11. WIOA President Barack Obama signed the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) into law on July 22, 2014. WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. Congress passed the Act by a wide bipartisan majority; it is the first legislative reform in 15 years of the public workforce system. WIOA brings together, in strategic coordination, the core programs of Federal investment in skill development: • Employment and training services for adults, dislocated workers, and youth and Wagner-Peyser employment services administered by the Department of Labor (DOL) through formula grants to states; and • Adult education and literacy programs and Vocational Rehabilitation state grant programs that assist individuals with disabilities in obtaining employment administered by the Department of Education (DoED).

  12. WIOA Core Programs • WIOA aligns the “core” programs to provide coordinated, comprehensive services. The core programs are: • Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth formula programs administered by DOL; • The Adult Education and Literacy programs administered by the Department of Education (ED); • Wagner-PeyserEmployment Service program administered by DOL; • The programs under Title I of the Rehabilitation Act that provide services to individuals with disabilities administered by the ED. Other programs administered by DOL that are authorized under Title I of WIOA include: Job Corps, YouthBuild, Indian and Native American programs, Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker programs, and evaluation and multistate projects.

  13. OVERVIEW WIOA requires each state to develop a unified plan, describing strategic and operational elements across all of its four titles: • Title I Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth programs administered by Department of Labor (DOL); • Title II Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) program administered by Education Department (ED); • Title III Employment Service program under the Wagner-Peyser Act administered by DOL; and • Title IV Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 administered by ED.

  14. OVERVIEW • At the state level, each eligible agency receiving Title II funds must use at least 82.5 percent of the funds to provide awards to eligible providers, and no more than 12.5 percent to carry out State leadership activities, such as technical assistance, monitoring, and evaluation. • The providers are then required to use at least 95 percent of the funds to carry out adult education and literacy activities, and can use the remaining 5 percent for activities such as planning, administration, and professional development.

  15. Adult, dislocated worker, and youth programs (Title I of WIOA) • Title I of WIOA authorizes programs to provide job search, education, and training activities for individuals seeking to gain or improve their employment prospects, and which establishes the One-Stop delivery system. In addition, Title I of WIOA establishes the governing structure and the performance accountability for all programs authorized under WIOA. Authorizes job training and related services to unemployed or underemployed individuals and establishes the governance and performance accountability system for WIOA. Emphasizes: • Youth programs for before and after school • Emphasis on out of school youth • Between the ages of 14-23

  16. Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA; Title II of WIOA) • Adult Education • ESL • ABE • IET • IELCE

  17. Wagner Peyser-Title 3 The Wagner-Peyser Act of 1933 established a nationwide system of public employment offices, known as the Employment Service. The Employment Service seeks to improve the functioning of the nation's labor markets by bringing together individuals seeking employment with employers seeking workers. The Wagner-Peyser Act was amended in 1998 to make the Employment Service part of the one-stop delivery system under the Workforce Investment Act. In 2014, the Wagner-Peyser Act was amended again under title III of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. The Employment Service under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act builds upon the previous workforce reforms, requires colocation of the Employment Service offices into the nearly 2,500 American Job Centers nationwide, and aligns performance accountability indicators with other federal workforce programs. 

  18. WIOA Titles IV & V • Title IV—Amendments to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973—authorizes employment-related vocational rehabilitation services to individuals with disabilities, to integrate vocational rehabilitation into the One-Stop system; and • Title V—General Provisions—specifies transition provisions from WIA to WIOA.-Now completed

  19. WIOA For Adult Education • Ending a grant cycle this year • Must complete a grant on how you provide services for those who are basic education • Must use IELCE and IET • Put into MEGS • Submitted in the spring • Many programs do not have it • Open to non-profits and literacy centers as long as they can show that they assess and have 2 years of following the guidelines or can.

  21. ASSESSMENT Michigan’s policy is located at: https://www.michigan.gov/documents/wda/MIAssessmentPolicy_544091_7.pdf Brian Fraizer is the contact person regarding questions

  22. Guidelines for Assessment All participants in Adult Basic Education (ABE), English as Second Language (ESL), Highs School Equivalency (HSE), and High School Completion (HSC) must be assessed (pre- and post-tested) with state-approved assessments each program year. An assessment can be used for re-enrollment purposes in the next program year as long as it is within 120 days from the date administered. Programs must track instructional hours between the pre- and post-test. It is strongly encouraged that participants be pre-tested in all instructional areas, and participants must be post-tested in the areas in which they received instruction. Programs must use scale scores when reporting results of record. Scale scores linked to basic skill competencies provide more meaningful information than grade equivalents, which can carry a negative connotation for the adult education participants. All programs must use the state-approved Adult Learning Plan (ALP) to document test forms and scores.

  23. IET and IELCE • IET is an education model that combines occupational skills training with adult education services to increase the educational and career advancement of participants. • IELCE Eligible providers receiving funds through the Integrated English Literacy and Civics Education program must provide services that are designed to: • Prepare adults who are English language learners for, and place such adults in, unsubsidized employment in in-demand industries and occupations that lead to economic self-sufficiency; and • Integrate with the local workforce development system and its functions to carry out the activities of the program.

  26. MEGS+ • MEGS+ is an automated Web-based information system used to create, submit, approve, track, and amend grant applications. The system was implemented in 2011, replacing the Michigan Electronic Grants System (MEGS) and Child Nutrition Application Program (CNAP) system. All school districts, local educational agencies, public school academies, and other education-related agencies use MEGS+ to apply for their federal formula grants and the majority of the Michigan Department Education (MDE)-sponsored competitive grants. MEGS+ manages the allocations of over 50 federally funded and State-funded grants. MEGS+ shares data with MDE’s Cash Management System, where grant payments are calculated and processed.

  27. Create an account! • In order to use MEGS, you must first obtain a MEIS (Michigan Education Information System) account. The MEIS account login and password are used to log into MEGS and to identify the individual user. MEGS tracks user activities by MEIS account to ensure that standard policies and procedures are being followed and that the information in the application is valid. • Users who do not have a MEIS account must go to http://meis.mde.state.mi.us/userman/ to create an account. There is a Create a MEIS Account link on the main page. Click this link to begin the process of obtaining a MEIS account.

  28. MAERS • Michigan Adult Education Reporting System (MAERS) is the tool we use to collect data for the State of Michigan • It is imperative that we follow the guidelines for data entry so there are no mistakes but also to accurate information so WDA can use it for legislative needs, state, and federal needs. • Read the MAERS manual. It is excellent in giving step by step information. • Always call the MAERS hotline for questions. There response rate is excellent. • The link to the MAERS information is: • https://www.michigan.gov/wda/0,5303,7-304-64362-303449--,00.html
