Section 121(d)(2)(A) of Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires One Stop operators to be designated or certified through a competitive process.  Competition provides the best method of ensuring that Local Workforce Development Boards examine operator effectiveness on a periodic basis.

Description

In addition, regular competition allows Local Boards to make improvements based on their one-stop certification processes, particularly in regard to the role of the operator and other service performance and performance metrics that may shift as one-stop partners and Local Boards update their MOUs. This is the first of two technical assistance webinars on the topic of competitive selection of a One Stop operator.  In this webinar, Federal staff and a local area expert from Ohio will engage the audience in an interactive dialogue regarding foundational issues such as:

  • Background, Roles, and Functions
  • Eligible Entities
  • Procurement Standards
