Program objective

The WIOA Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth Outlying Areas Consolidated Grants, Title I, implement the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act legislation, allowing the Department to reform and modernize our nation's workforce development system. As allowed by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, the outlying areas that are applying to receive funding through a consolidated grant agreement, may use WIOA Title I funds interchangeably between programs. The program serves individuals and helps employers meet their workforce needs. It promotes job quality by providing them with job search assistance and training opportunities, enhancing their skills to meet labor market needs. The program serves the outlying areas (US territories): American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the United States Virgin Islands. The program's success is measured by the following core indicators of performance: 1. Employment Rate - 2nd Quarter After Exit; 2. Employment Rate - 4th Quarter After Exit; 3. Median Earnings - 2nd Quarter After Exit; 4. Measurable Skill Gains; 5. Credential Attainment Rate.
