Integrating Trade Act Programs With WIA
Local workforce investment boards shall ensure that their strategic planning process includes an analysis of the local labor market to:
- Determine employer needs;
- Determine emerging, targeted, and demand occupations;
- Identify employment opportunities, which include those with a potential for career advancement; and
- Identify employer-based training opportunities.
Boards shall set local policies for a Trade Act service strategy that coordinate various service delivery approaches to:
- Assist dislocated workers eligible for Trade benefits in obtaining suitable employment as an alternative to referral to training;
- Promote the use of WIA core and intensive services to support the rapid reattachment to the workforce;
- Refer individuals to prevocational and vocational training in demand and targeted occupations; and
- Assist in job retention and career advancement.
Boards shall ensure that dislocated workers eligible for Trade benefits, who are unable to find suitable employment through WIA Title I core services, are co-enrolled in WIA Title I dislocated worker services for referral to WIA-funded intensive and Trade-funded training services.
