DWTAT funds are used to provide technical assistance and transition to full WIOA implementation. For instance, this fund source has been used to support the Workforce Integrated Performance System (WIPS), State Wage Interchange System (SWIS), and Common Reporting Information System (CRIS), as well as technical assistance contracts and the Workforce IT Support Center. DWTAT funds are generally awarded through contracts and range from very small, targeted activities of just over $6,000 to much larger projects of approximately $3.5 million for the year; ETA awards approximately $11 million per year in DWTAT projects.
In Fiscal Year 2021, the Employment and Training Administration published a solicitation to establish a Technical Assistance (TA) Collaborative to provide effective and efficient delivery of technical assistance to the public workforce system to promote the continuous improvement of services and outcomes provided to job seekers and employers. The desired result of the TA Collaborative is to establish a comprehensive and coordinated approach to improving services and outcomes of the public workforce system.
In Fiscal Year 2022, ETA awarded a $3.5 million cooperative agreement to Safal Partners LLC to establish a Workforce System Technical Assistance Collaborative that will facilitate peer learning and information sharing, and provide access to subject matter experts to help jobseekers obtain employment and employers hire and retain skilled workers. The funding supports a coordinated approach to technical assistance to help workforce boards and operators deliver quality services. Safal will partner with the National Association of Workforce Boards, the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals and Third Sector Capital Partners to form the collaborative. The Collaborative will assist workforce boards and others in the workforce system in implementing the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) programs and in achieving equity in service delivery and outcomes for people of color and historically marginalized populations, including individuals with disabilities.
The Next Level Now partnership has worked with ETA to establish new enterprise-wide model for providing technical assistance that has increased cross-regional coordination and sharing of best practices across states and local areas. Through this partnership, ETA has increased the reach of technical assistance to a national audience through webinars and customized technical assistance. As of March 2024, NLN produced a total of 18 webinars, reaching 15,295 attendees; and provided more intensive technical assistance through round tables and a virtual fiscal academy that is open to the public workforce system with materials posted to WorkforceGPS - Welcome to the Next Level Now Collaborative Community!. Next Level Now has been able to respond to over 300 individuals covering about 400 topics and provided customized technical assistance to 15 states.
