WIA Programs
Programs funded through the Workforce Investment Act that provide classroom training, work experience and on-the-job training as well as counseling, job preparation and job placement assistance for low-income youth age 16 through 21 who meet one of six specific barriers to employment, and adults age 18 and older who are low-income and/or receiving public assistance and are unemployed. Some youth age 14 and 15 are eligible for some programs. Youth who are age 18 through 21 may co-enroll in adult and youth programs. Job training participants receive comprehensive supportive services referrals as needed. Specific components of the WIA program may focus on special populations with unique employment problems including Native Americans, veterans, migrant and seasonal farm workers, dislocated workers and people who are homeless.
The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 provided major reform of the nation's job training system. The goal of WIA was to integrate 17 public employment programs into a one-stop service delivery system intended to maximize employment and training resources for businesses and job seekers. Today, the Nevada JobConnect system consists of 10 one-stop offices located throughout the state in addition to a number of community-based affiliate sites.
Another feature of the workforce investment system is to facilitate universal access to services for employers and job seekers via the Internet at www.NevadaJobConnect.com. Resource centers with Internet connections and career exploration software are an integral part of every full-service Nevada JobConnect office.
Workforce Investment Support Services (WISS) is a unit within the Employment Security Division to implement and support the WIA in Nevada. This unit is responsible for the development and oversight of statewide Employment Service and WIA program policies and procedures. WISS was established to support program integration and services that advance the development of the Nevada JobConnect system, and to provide assistance to the state and local workforce investment boards responsible for carrying out the following programs:
Career Enhancement Program (CEP) is an employer-funded training and reemployment program that assists unemployed Nevadans return to gainful employment. The program provides employers and job seekers with training designed to improve and increase job skills required in today�s workplace. The CEP also works directly with Unemployment Insurance claimants in jeopardy of exhausting their benefits to provide intensive reemployment assistance required by the federally mandated Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services Program. As of July 1, 2003, CEP may also provide matching funds to Nevada employers for training of their employees that will enhance the skills of those employees and help maintain the edge that Nevada businesses need to remain competitive in the national and international economies.
