WIA resources available to fund training itself must be expanded, so that a greater number and range of job-seekers can prepare to enter skilled occupations within their communities.
The next phase of WIA needs to make it easier for states and local areas to reserve the maximum possible amount of their WIA budgets for skills training services, and at the same time ensure that all partner agencies in the WIA system contribute to these common infrastructure costs.
WIA should see as one of its primary goals not only preparing workers for immediately available jobs, but also helping those workers continue to develop the skills necessary to advance within the labor market to a certain level of economic self-sufficiency.

 Workforce Investment Act (WIA) to Be Reauthorized This Year
The WIA is the major source of federal funding for most workforce development programs, including job training, adult basic education, and English as a second language classes.
Rather, the WIA was conceived as a "one-stop delivery system" where all workers can seek employment, education, and training services at local and regional "one-stop centers." However, because most one-stop centers have interpreted the WIA as requiring a "work first" emphasis, they have implemented programs that emphasize job placement over providing skills training.
Although WIA's goal is to "improve the quality of the workforce," WIA programs have been ineffective in serving immigrants and persons who are limited English-proficient (LEP).

 About the Montana Workforce Investment Act   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The one-stop delivery system is a system where entities responsible for administering separate workforce investment, educational and other human resource programs and funding streams (referred to as one-stop partners) collaborate to create a seamless system of service delivery designed to enhance access to the programs’ services and improve long-term employment outcomes for individuals receiving assistance.
WIA law requires at least one comprehensive physical center that provides core services as well as access to other programs and activities carried out by the one-stop partners in each local area.
It is the purpose of WIA and the one-stop delivery system to help facilitate meeting both of those needs.

If our forecast is correct, we think that U.S. TIPS (which comprise a minimum of 80% of both WIA and WIW) should see the benefit of higher inflation accretion in November, and in turn should increase the investment income of both Funds in the short-run.
Since the primary objective of the Funds is to provide current income and we attempt to maintain a stable dividend policy, we formulated a range of dividend rates that we believed could be sustained into 2006.
Earlier, we discussed what effects the hurricanes might have on certain factors affecting the Funds' income, but it should be noted that the new rates were established in August and announced on September 1st, prior to knowing what the true effects of the hurricanes would be on any one of the four factors mentioned above.
