| General Description of One-Stop Delivery System |
(a) In general, the One-Stop delivery system is a system under
which entities responsible for administering separate workforce
investment, educational, and other human resource programs and funding
streams (referred to as One-Stop partners) collaborate to create a
seamless system of service delivery that will enhance access to the
programs' services and improve long-term employment outcomes for
individuals receiving assistance.
(b) Title I of WIA assigns responsibilities at the local, State and
Federal level to ensure the creation and maintenance of a One-Stop
delivery system that enhances the range and quality of workforce
development services that are accessible to individuals seeking
assistance.
(c) The system must include at least one comprehensive physical
center in each local area that must provide the core services specified
in WIA section 134(d)(2), and must provide access to other programs and
activities carried out by the One-Stop partners.
(d) While each local area must have at least one comprehensive
center (and may have additional comprehensive centers), WIA section
134(c) allows for arrangements to supplement the center. These
arrangements may include:
(1) A network of affiliated sites that can provide one or more
partners' programs, services and activities at each site;
(2) A network of One-Stop partners through which each partner
provides services that are linked, physically or technologically, to an
affiliated site that assures individuals are provided information on
the availability of core services in the local area; and
(3) Specialized centers that address specific needs, such as those
of dislocated workers.
(e) The design of the local area's One-Stop delivery system,
including the number of comprehensive centers and the supplementary
arrangements, must be described in the local plan and be consistent
with the memorandum of understanding executed with the One-Stop
partners.
