For A One-stop Operator

Description

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA, Public Law 113-128) of 2014 provides the framework for a national workforce system that is flexible, responsive, customer-focused and locally managed. The Middlesex County Workforce Development Board (MCWDB) or (LWDB) welcomes and encourages the respondent to submit management service designs which are innovative with a "hands-on" approach.The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) places a clear separation between the One-Stop Operator responsibilities and those of the MCWDB, its staff and Middlesex County Office of Workforce Development (MCOWD) and One Stop System Manager.The MCWDB is seeking a One-Stop Operator to coordinate specific service provisions of the One-Stop system. The law envisions a collaborative process that leads to the creation of a seamless customer-focused One-Stop delivery system. At its best, the resulting system integrates service delivery across all programs and enhances access to the programs' services.As part of the One-Stop delivery system, WIOA requires local boards to establish and conduct oversight of that system. A One Stop Operator will be responsible for developing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the required One-Stop partners that outlines each partner’s responsibilities. WIOA establishes a number of required partners in the One-Stop delivery system. These partners include but are not limited to:• Title I programs (Adult, Dislocated Worker, Youth, Job Corps, Youth Build, Native American, and Migrant Seasonal Farmworker)• Title II Adult Education and Family Literacy activities• Wagner-Peyser Act Department of Labor Employment Services programs• The Vocational Rehabilitation program under Title I of the Rehabilitation Act• The Senior Community Service Employment Program authorized under Title V of the Older Americans Act• Postsecondary career and technical educatio
