Part I. Funding Opportunity 

Description 

1. Background 

The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) 

reformed numerous federal job training 

programs with amendments impacting 

service delivery under other laws 

including 29 U.S.C. 49 et seq. the 

Wagner-Peyser Act, Adult Education 

and Family Literacy Act, 20 U.S.C. 9201 

et seq., and the Rehabilitation Act., 29 

U.S.C. 701 et seq. WIA created a system 

of One-Stop Career Centers across the 

country. The intention of the One-Stop 

Career Center system is to establish a 

network of programs and providers in 

co-located and integrated settings that 

are accessible for individuals and 

businesses alike. There are currently 

over 1,800 comprehensive One-Stop 

Career Centers and over 1,400 affiliated 

One-Stop Career Centers across the 

United States. A number of other 

Federal programs are also identified as 

required partners in the One-Stop 

Career Center system to provide a 

comprehensive set of services for all 

Americans to access the information 

and resources available to help achieve 

their career goals. The WIA also 

established state and local Workforce 

Investment Boards focused on strategic 

planning, policy development, and 

oversight of the workforce investment 

system, and accorded significant 

authority to the nation’s Governors and 

local chief elected officials to further 

implement innovative and 

comprehensive delivery systems. The 

vision, goals and objectives for 

workforce investment under the WIA 

decentralized system are fully described 

in the state strategic plan required under 

Section 112 of the statute. This state 

strategic workforce investment plan and 

the operational experience gained by all 

the partners to date in implementing the 

WIA-instituted reforms help identify the 

important ‘‘unmet needs’’ and latent 

opportunities to expand access to OneStop Career Center systems by all the 

population segments within the local 

labor market. 

States are currently developing their 

Strategic Plans for years three and four 

of the current five-year planning cycle. 

Plans from states with new governors 

are due to the Department by June 30, 

2007 and plans from the other states are 

due by May 1, 2007. 

2. Administration Strategy 

Engagement of Faith-Based and 

Community Organizations Under the 

Workforce Investment Act 

On January 29, 2001, President George 

W. Bush issued Executive Order 13198, 

creating the Office for Faith-Based and 

Community Initiatives in the White 

House and centers for faith-based and 

community initiatives (CFBCI) in the 

federal Departments of Labor (DOL), 

Health and Human Services (HHS), 

Housing and Urban Development 

(HUD), Education (ED), and Justice 

(DOJ). President Bush charged the 

departmental centers with identifying 

statutory, regulatory, and bureaucratic 

barriers that stand in the way of the 

participation of effective faith-based and 

community organizations in providing 

human services, and to ensure, 

consistent with the law, that these 

organizations have equal opportunity to 

compete for federal funding and other 

support. 

In early 2002, the CFBCI and ETA 

developed and issued an SGA to engage 

States, intermediary and grassroots 

organizations in workforce systembuilding. Further, ETA ensured that all 

solicitations were designed to include 

faith-based and community 

organizations as potential providers to 

deliver services and to strengthen their 

partnerships with the One-Stop Career 

Center system, while providing 

additional points of entry for customers 

into that system.
