Title: Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the Fresno Regional Workforce (FRWBD’s) application through the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB) for the Adult and Dislocated Worker Career Services Provider Designation
Summary
The Fresno Regional Workforce Development Board (FRWDB) is seeking approval to serve as an Adult and Dislocated Worker Career Services Provider under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). This initiative requires agreement from the City of Fresno's Mayor and the Governor. FRWDB aims to enhance service delivery for job seekers by directly providing career services, which include outreach, assessments, job placement, and support services. This approach is designed to improve service quality and responsiveness, reducing potential gaps associated with contracted services. The proposal highlights FRWDB's established track record and the positive impact on employment outcomes. Approval is crucial for aligning local workforce strategies with federal and state priorities, ultimately benefiting the community's workforce development.
