All of the IRI documents from the 25th IRI to the 36th are available online The National Clearinghouse and can be downloaded at no charge. JDVRTAC The Job Driven Center for short, was established to support State VR agencies in four main areas -- Business Engage-ment, Employer Supports, Labor Market Information and Customized Training – through general, targeted and inten-sive technical assistance (TA). The team at UA CURRENTS was involved in developing resources and webinars in the four topic areas, providing intensive TA in several states and participating in a national Learning Collaborative. PROMISE CURRENTS led the development of the Arkansas’ PROMISE model demonstration project, which provided intensive case management, benefits counseling, workforce devel-opment, employment, education and training for low in-come youth with disabilities and their families. CURRENTS managed the training intervention, which included monthly training opportunities, a summer camp and staff profession-al development. WINTAC The Workforce Innovation Technical Assistance Center (WINTAC) provided training and technical assistance to State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies to help them de-velop the skills and processes needed to meet the require-ments of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).
