Description
One-Stop Centers are at the heart of the new workforce investment system emerging under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). These centers provide an integrated array of high-quality services so that workers and job seekers can find the services they need under one roof in easy-to-reach locations. One-Stop Centers are designed to help job-seekers and workers obtain employment and training services to advance their careers. These services include assessment of skills, abilities, aptitudes, and needs; assistance with Unemployment Insurance; access to Wagner-Peyser Act-funded employment services, such as the States' public labor exchange and labor market information; career counseling; job-search and job-placement assistance; and information on training, education, and related supportive services such as day care and transportation. Eligible individuals also can obtain more intensive services and training.
