Current Narrative:

Section 188 of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act ensures nondiscrimination and equal opportunity for various categories of persons, including persons with disabilities, who apply for and participate in programs and activities operated by recipients of WIA Title I financial assistance. WorkForce West Virginia (WFWV) will use the "Promising Practices in Achieving Universal Access and Equal Opportunity: A Section 188 Disability Reference Guide” as a boilerplate in assuring compliance with Section 188 of WIOA. The Guide is designed to ensure meaningful participation of people with disabilities in programs and activities operated by recipients of financial assistance under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), including those that are part of the One–Stop Center Network.

The Guide outlines promising practices in the provision of universal access and equal opportunity to programs and activities under WIOA. WorkForce West Virginia will use the Guide to monitor its own compliance, and that of its recipients, with the aspects of Section 188 and its implementing regulations that pertain to persons with disabilities. Through the monitoring process, WorkForce West Virginia can identify the disability–related requirements imposed by Section 188 and 29 CFR Part 38, to ensure equal access to programs and services under WIOA for people with disabilities.
