The Administration has proposed two Workforce Investment Act (WIA) reauthorization initiatives that would effectively eliminate requirements that existing employment and training funding streams be targeted for populations and purposes specified by Congress. The first proposal would require states to consolidate funding for the following programs: WIA adult, WIA dislocated worker, WIA youth, and the Employment Service. The second proposal--called WIA Plus--would give governors the option for unprecedented, broad waiver authority and allow for consolidation of a range of federal programs, including: Adult Education, Vocational Rehabilitation, Trade Adjustment Assistance, Food Stamps Employment and Training, and Veterans Employment. This document outlines reasons why the Senate should reject both proposals in its WIA reauthorization bill.
