One-Stop Operations Guidance for the American Job Center Network

Purpose

This Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) provides general guidance for the implementation of operational requirements under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) pertaining to the one-stop delivery system, branded nationally as the American Job Center network. Due to the broad scope of the one-stop delivery system, encompassing multiple programs administered by different Federal agencies, this guidance provides the primary components for understanding and implementing an integrated American Job Center network. Consistent with the requirement to promote increased public identification of the one-stop delivery system and the requirement for the use of a common identifier across the nation (WIOA sec. 121(e)(4)), the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), in coordination with the U.S. Department of Education (ED), established the "American Job Center" network, a unifying name and brand that identifies online and in-person workforce development services as part of a single network of publicly-funded services. The use of the American Job Center network designation in this guidance establishes a framework for accentuating and implementing an integrated workforce delivery system. DOL and ED, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) (collectively, the Departments), published the WIOA Joint Rule for Unified and Combined State Plans, Performance Accountability, and the One-Stop System Joint Provisions; Final Rule (Joint WIOA Final Rule) on August 19, 2016, in the Federal Register at 81 FR 55791. The Joint WIOA Final Rule, which became effective on October 18, 2016, can be found at: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/08/19/2016-15977/workforce-innovation-and-opportunity-act-joint-rule-for-unified-and-combined-state-plans-performance.

References: Welfare-to-Work (WtW) Grants Interim Final Rule, 20 CFR 645 (62 Federal Register 61588 (November 18, 1997)) and NOTICE OF OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET ACTION (OMB NO. 1205-0385), dated April 2, 1998, approving Form Nos. ETA-9068 and ETA-9068-1, in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Background: The above referenced documents together with the attached reporting forms and instructions constitute the approved financial reporting requirements for WtW formula and competitive grants. These reporting requirements were approved through September 30, 1998 under OMB emergency approval procedures. OMB approval of WtW reporting requirements for the life of the WtW program will occur before September 30, 1998 under the normal OMB approval process. In order to expedite the reporting process and ease the reporting burden on grantees, ETA is working to provide all WtW grantees with the capability for electronic entry of the data requested on the attached prototype format. Reporting Process: The fields containing the required data elements for assessing the effectiveness of the WtW Program will be provided to the States via the Internet. Each State will be issued an Account/Password which must be keyed into the system to access the menu driven software containing the State's WtW Formula Grant Reporting Format. Specific instructions on the issuance of an Account/Password will be sent directly to the State contact. For each data element, there will be a prompt which will trigger an explanation of the data that is to be entered for that specific element. (The explanation will correspond to the item explanations contained in the attached instructions.) After the data has been entered into the system, it must be reviewed for completeness and accuracy. A designated individual (to be identified per instructions in this TEGL) must then enter a PIN number which will be assigned to the State by ETA. This will certify that the data accurately represents the expenditures and/or participants served for each of the required data elements for the reporting period identified. This will also trigger Regional Office accessibility to the data. After the PIN number has been entered, the data will be in a "holding mode" until the Regional Office has reviewed and released the data to the National Office. When the data is not submitted to the Regional Office by the designated due dates specified in the attached instructions, or the data submitted is incomplete or inaccurate, the Regional Office will contact the State and follow-up as necessary to correct the deficiency. The system will not allow the Regional Office to modify the data entered by the State. Thus, if changes need to be made, per discussions between the State and the Regional Office or if the State initiates a change to previously submitted data, the State will need to modify the original submittal and certify to the accuracy of the modification by entering the assigned PIN number. (When logging into the WtW Reporting System, the State will be provided with an option to enter new quarterly data or to modify data from a previous quarter.) The State is requested to designate at least two individuals who will be involved in WtW reporting. One individual should be the person who will certify that the data is complete and accurate. The other individual should be "hands-on" with data input and knowledgeable of the required data elements. ETA staff will contact the designated individual(s) to provide specific instructions concerning the establishment of an Account/Password and issuance of PIN Numbers will be provided. States are advised to use the most current version of a JAVA enabled browser. Therefore, to the extent that present software is being enhanced, the latest commercially available browser should be utilized.
