Current Narrative:
(3) Training Provider Eligibility Procedure
WIOA and its regulations establish the allowable types of training, including both work-based and classroom instruction, with the goal of ensuring provider performance, job-driven training, informed consumer choice, continuous improvement and cost-effective investment of public funds. CareerSource Florida Administrative Policy 90 – WIOA Eligible Training Provider List was implemented to provide guidance to LWDBs and post-secondary training providers of training services programs funded under WIOA regarding the Eligible Training Provider requirements.
Training and Employment Guidance Letter No. 08-19 was issued on January 2, 2020, to identify actions that states can take to meet requirements for training providers, program eligibility and the state Eligible Training Provider list in WIOA Section 122 and 20 CFR part 680. This guidance replacing TEGL 41-14 and the subsequent TEGL 41-14, Change 1 has been provided to LWDBs.
The Reimagining Education and Career Help Act (REACH) requires DEO, with input from the state workforce development board, DOE and others, to establish WIOA eligible training provider criteria focused on participant outcomes. As a result, DEO released new performance criteria to the CareerSource Florida network and stakeholders for eligible training providers in July 2020.
The REACH Act also requires DEO, along with other stakeholders. to develop an administrative rule to codify state’s minimum initial and subsequent eligibility performance requirements. DEO and CareerSource Florida will continue to use Policy Development Workgroup that consists of staff from CareerSource Florida’s Strategic Policy and Performance team and DEO’s Bureau of One-Stop and Program Support, to include local boards and other stakeholders in developing the administrative rule and any updates to CareerSource Florida Administrative Policy 90.
Information about procedures, eligibility criteria and information requirements for determining training provider initial and continued eligibility for Registered Apprenticeship programs is available in
CareerSource Florida Strategic Policy 2019.02.13.A.1 – Apprenticeship Policy and CareerSource Florida Administrative Policy 100 – Work-Based Training are modified to fully comply with Training and Employment Guidance Letter 19-16 and Training and Employment Guidance Letter 13-16. Procedures, eligibility criteria, and information requirements for determining training provider eligibility for registered apprenticeship programs are described in CareerSource Florida Administrative Policy 100 – Work Based Training in general and specifically in CareerSource Florida Administrative Policy 90 – WIOA Eligible Training Provider List. Updates to policies since 2020 included revisions to accommodate the recission of Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Programs (IRAPs), the publication of TEGL 08-19, Change 1, the inclusion of guidelines for the initial and subsequent determination of eligibility of training providers, the federal and state requirements for training providers, performance standards, the reporting of data and the removal provisions for training providers.
