WHEN INDIVIDUALS BECOME DISLOCATED WORKERS BECAUSE OF JOB LOSS, MASS LAYOFFS, GLOBAL TRADE DYNAMICS OR TRANSITIONS IN ECONOMIC SECTORS, THE WIOA DW PROGRAM PROVIDES SERVICES TO ASSIST THEM IN REENTERING THE WORKFORCE. ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: WIOA SPECIFIES THAT MOST DW SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED THROUGH THE AMERICAN JOB CENTER NETWORK, ALSO KNOWN AS ONE-STOP CAREER CENTERS. UNDER THE DW PROGRAM, ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS WILL RECEIVE CAREER SERVICES, WHICH ARE CLASSIFIED INTO TWO CATEGORIES: BASIC AND INDIVIDUALIZED SERVICES. WHILE SOME JOB SEEKERS MAY ONLY NEED SELF-SERVICE OR OTHER BASIC CAREER SERVICES SUCH AS LABOR EXCHANGE SERVICES, OTHERS MAY NEED MORE COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES, SUCH AS INDIVIDUALIZED SERVICES, WHICH INCLUDE CAREER PLANNING, AND DEVELOPING AN INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYMENT PLAN OUTLINING NEEDS AND GOALS OF THE JOB SEEKER. PARTICIPANTS WILL ALSO RECEIVE TRAINING SERVICES LINKED TO JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. TO PROMOTE CUSTOMER CHOICE AND INVOLVEMENT IN CAREER DECISIONS, PARTICIPANTS USE AN INDIVIDUAL TRAINING ACCOUNT TO SELECT AN APPROPRIATE TRAINING PROGRAM FROM AN ELIGIBLE TRAINING PROVIDER LIST. WIOA ALSO AUTHORIZES THE PROVISION OF SUPPORTIVE SERVICES (E.G. TRANSPORTATION AND CHILDCARE ASSISTANCE) TO ENABLE AN INDIVIDUAL TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THE WIOA DISLOCATED WORKER PROGRAM OUTCOMES ARE TO ENSURE THAT INDIVIDUALS CAN ACCESS AND RECEIVE THE EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING SERVICES THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR, SO THAT THEY MAY BECOME EMPLOYED OR ADVANCE IN EMPLOYMENT. GRANTEES REPORT PERFORMANCE MEASURES OF THESE OUTCOMES, INCLUDING THE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE EMPLOYED IN THE SECOND AND FOURTH QUARTER AFTER FINISHING. INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: INDIVIDUALS WHO LOSE THEIR JOBS BECAUSE OF LAYOFFS, GLOBAL TRADE DYNAMICS, OR OTHER ECONOMIC TRANSITIONS, SUCH INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE OF TERMINATION OR LAYOFF FROM EMPLOYMENT, INCLUDING A SEPARATION NOTICE FROM ACTIVE MILITARY SERVICES. SPECIFIC ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA ARE PROVIDED IN WIOA SEC 3(15). SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE GRANTEES MAY SUBAWARD FUNDS FROM THE DW PROGRAM TO PROVIDE INDIVIDUALIZED CAREER SERVICES, TRAINING, AS WELL AS PROVIDE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES.
