Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 877 - Workforce Development Board and Workforce Development Center Administration Division › Chapter 12 - Iowa Job Training Partnership Program › Rule 877-12.8 - Private Industry Council/local Elected Official Agreement

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
The local JTPA program is operated as a partnership between the
				PIC and LEOs. This partnership is formed by an agreement between the PIC and
				LEOs which outlines procedures for developing the local job training plans for
				all JTPA titles and programs in the SDA and which provides for the selection of
				the grant recipient, administrative entity and Title III grantee.
(1)
Elements.
The PIC/LEO
			 agreement must include, at a minimum, the following elements:
a.
Local training plan development
			 procedure.
The agreement must include a determination as to who (e.g.,
			 PIC members, elected officials, grant recipient staff, administrative entity
			 staff, consultants) will be involved in the preparation of the various job
			 training plans.
b.
Selection of Title III grantee.
The agreement must describe the
			 required request for proposal procedure that will be used to select the Title
			 III grantee.
c.
Selection
			 of the grant recipient and administrative entity for Title II.
The
			 agreement must specify which entity or entities will act as the grant recipient
			 and administrative entity for the Title II programs or how they will be
			 chosen.
d.
Policy
			 guidance.
The PIC and LEOs must agree on how policy guidance will be
			 provided for the SDA's JTPA program. This effort could entail periodic meetings
			 between representatives of each group to coordinate their policy
			 recommendations for the administrative entity. Alternatively, either group
			 could be designated to take the lead in guiding policy and establishing a
			 systematic method to keep the other group informed and provide for its
			 input.
e.
Oversight.
Both the PIC and the LEOs are responsible for oversight of
			 the program. The agreement must state who will conduct oversight, how and when
			 it will occur. Oversight is defined as reviewing, monitoring, and evaluating
			 the JTPA program within the SDA. The PIC and LEOs may perform the oversight
			 function jointly or the PIC may take the lead and keep the LEOs
			 informed.
f.
Lines of
			 communication.
Regardless of how the LEOs and the PIC decide to
			 coordinate individual responsibilities, the agreement must contain the method
			 used by the PIC and the LEOs to keep each other informed. These procedures
			 could include an indication of who is responsible for initiating communication,
			 at what intervals, by what means (for example, personal meetings and written
			 reports), and issues needing review on a regular basis.
g.
Development of the local
			 workforce development plan.
The Act requires the local workforce
			 development plan to be developed jointly with the LEOs and the PIC in each SDA.
			 The agreement must indicate the procedure for participating in the development
			 of the workforce development plan.
h.
Period of agreement.
The
			 period of time covered by the agreement must be defined.
