"Reauthorization of the Workforce

Investment Act is long overdue.

But I am disappointed that the

House majority chose to pass a

partisan bill rather than one that

builds on WIA's strengths by

streamlining and improving

services, providing true "one-stop

shopping," employing regional and

industry-driven economic

development strategies,

What  Should  Be  Different?  

Much of what makes Silicon Valley and the

overall nine-county Bay Area a great place

to live and work is the result of regional

decisions. Over half a century ago, leaders

in the Bay Area looked to the future and

made choices involving tradeoffs and

sacrifices.

One  consistent  finding  is  that  training  programs  that  

lead  to  secondary  or  postsecondary  

creden1als

,  

along  with  

work  experience  

in  

key  economic  sectors

,  

are  effec1ve  for  disadvantaged  workers.  More  

intensive  efforts  

that  emphasize  

work  experience  

plus  supports  and  services  

for  the  “hard  to  employ”  

also  show  posi1ve  results.

Evidence  reveals  that  

higher-­‐value  training  

awards,  combined  with  

counseling,  

generate  

large  net  benefits  for  

Switching  to  larger,  more  flexible  ITA  

awards  with  counseling  could  generate  

$46,600  per  ITA  jobseeker  in  net  social  

benefits.    

The  Structured  Choice  model  demonstrated  

significant  posi1ve  long-­‐term  outcomes,  

including  large,  sustained  increases  in  

Random assignment

individuals showed that

members of the control

group over the
