Current Narrative:
Priority of Service: A draft policy has been put before the WIOA Implementation and Policy Committee that articulates the requirements for providing priority of service to adults who are recipients of public as—sistance, low income individuals or who are basic skills deficient. The policy requires that Local Board in turn, initiate a policy regarding priority for adult participants that may include individuals with additional barriers to employment. The Bureau of Employment Services (BES), on a quarterly basis, will review the percentage of adult participants who are enrolled and fall within the priority parameters in each local area. The percentages will be reviewed against previous quarters. During the last four quarters cumulatively, 97% of individuals enrolled in the Adult program under WIA met one or more of the three priority criteria. Please see APPENDIX—X for the policy on priority of service for Adults.
