Now you can take advantage of a better way to meet your workforce needs.  The center-piece of the WIA system is the Comprehensive One-Stop Center, designed by employers for employers, which will help you find and train qualified workers and also help qualified workers find jobs in businesses.

The new system simplifies the maze of current programs into a Comprehensive, aligned system of services - and you are the prime customer.

MARKET DRIVEN
Business needs matter most.  Employers establish industry standards for training to choose the best trainers and hold the system accountable for meeting performance standards.

COMPREHENSIVE
All services are located in one place.  One-Stop services consolidate most federal, state and local workforce programs and services into convenient physical locations and electronic sites.  Employers and workers can connect in real or virtual communities, find out about the labor market, and access education and training for example.

PORTABLE
Funds are tied to results.  Job candidates can use training vouchers to select the best industry- recognized training or education programs.  Participants can use their vouchers to seek education and training providers with proven results.

ACCOUNTABLE
Performance results are public.  Employers, workers and job candidates alike will know what works and what doesn´t.  Job placement and retention rates, earnings gains and skill certificates, for example, indicate results.

CUSTOMER-FOCUSED
Employer satisfaction counts.  Employer-led workforce boards measure employer satisfaction with the quality, relevance and responsiveness of services.  Training and education providers know that their job is to meet business expectation.

RESPONSIVE
The new system is designed for continuous improvement.  Built-in performance and customer satisfaction measures provide data that employer-led workforce boards can use to make improvements.

FLEXIBLE
A demand-driven system makes quick changes possible.  Program flexibility allows One-Stop systems to tailor services for local business needs in a rapidly changing environment.

CUSTOMIZED
Your specific business needs can be met.  Customized training services such as on-the-job, industry specific and school-to-career training are available to business all sizes.  One-Stop service system can convene training providers, community colleges, four year colleges, and universities, and other post-secondary schools to tailor workforce solutions for your business.
