Workforce Investments Accountability Act

This bill changes how federal job training programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act are measured and reported. It revises the performance measures states use, has the Labor and Education Secretaries propose expected performance levels that states can accept or counter, and requires standardized, public performance reports, including cost and earnings data for training providers. States and local areas that miss performance targets would get technical assistance and, after repeated failures, face funding reductions, with reduced funds shifted to other states or local areas. The bill also requires local areas to spend at least half of certain adult and dislocated worker funds on training services.
