Workforce Investment Act of 1998
On June 30, 1999, U.S. Secretary of Labor Alexis Herman authorized Texas to begin implementing the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998. WIA requires states to streamline and consolidate their job training systems by creating a "one stop" approach for delivery of services. WIA not only replaces the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA), but moreover establishes a new workforce development system for the nation. This new nationwide workforce system reflects many of the features already established by the Texas legislature under H.B. 1863.
For complete information on how WIA can be of benefit to you, please visit a Workforce Center near you. You can find listings and addresses of these Centers located within the Middle Rio Grande Service Delivery Area by clicking on "Workforce Centers" tab.
