On July 22, 2014, President Obama signed into law the Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA), which revises and reauthorizes the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA).  Enactment of WIOA has significant impacts on Adult Basic Skills programs:

  • New Performance Measures 
  • Stronger Connections to Postsecondary Education and Employment
  • Enhanced English Language Acquisition and Civics Programs
  • One-Stop Center Integration 

The existing Workforce Investment Act (WIA) performance accountability section remains in effect for 2015, with the new WIOA performance accountability provisions taking effect July 1, 2016.
