The Workforce Innovation Fund is a vehicle to increase innovative service delivery with the ultimate goals of providing better customer outcomes at a lower cost to the public workforce system. In support of these goals, the solicitation highlights how applicants may explore the use of existing flexibilities that are embedded within several Federal programs and to explore waivers that may be needed to remove statutory and regulatory barriers that would enhance innovations you propose.

Description

The purpose of the session is to:

  • Review the administrative flexibility language in the Workforce Innovation Fund grant solicitation.
  • Discuss the flexibilities offered through the Federal programs most likely to be included in your grant proposal.
  • Examine practical examples of administrative flexibility in action; and
  • Provide you with an opportunity to ask questions you may have regarding administrative flexibility.
