This announcement from the Center on Law and Social Policy (CLASP) shares that state Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) plans must describe strategies to prioritize employment and training services for “public assistance recipients, other low-income individuals, or individuals who are basic skills deficient.” This policy will help ensure that states serve low-income people.

The Association of People Supporting Employment (APSE) has developed and provided a guide for review of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) state plans. This guide can be used to understand and analyze the states' intentions and priorities in implementation of WIOA.

The TANF/WIOA Learning Community is an initiative sponsored by the Administration for Children and Families, Office of Family Assistance. Developed in response to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which offers an opportunity for significant and improved collaboration between workforce agencies and partners such as TANF, the community brings together seven teams from states across the country to explore strategies for successful integration of TANF and workforce programs. Through the initiative, teams focus on WIOA planning and implementation strategies ranging from creation of a common vision to on-the-ground implementation. The learning community kicked off in September 2015 with a Peer Exchange Workshop and continues through 2016 with ongoing technical assistance including webinars, conference calls, peer-to-peer support, and resource sharing.

In this short video, TANF practitioners explain how partnerships at their local American Job Centers are creating opportunities to reach more people who utilize their services. North Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah programs are highlighted for their successes in TANF/WIOA collaborations.
