The bicameral legislation passed with near unanimous support and reauthorizes the Workforce Investment Act, which was originally enacted in 1998. WIOA streamlines federal job training programs and seeks to strengthen performance measurement and coordination of state/local evaluation efforts, among other changes.

An Opportunity Nation blog post also provides a useful perspective on the enhancements that WIOA makes to federal workforce development policy. |
