(a) The One-Stop system is the basic delivery system for adult and
dislocated worker services. Through this system, adults and dislocated
workers can access a continuum of services. The services are organized
into three levels: core, intensive, and training.
(b) The chief elected official or his/her designee(s), as the local
grant recipient(s) for the adult and dislocated worker programs, is a
required One-Stop partner and is subject to the provisions relating to
such partners described in 20 CFR part 662. Consistent with those
provisions:
(1) Core services for adults and dislocated workers must be made
available in at least one comprehensive One-Stop center in each local
workforce investment area. Services may also be available elsewhere,
either at affiliated sites or at specialized centers. For example,
specialized centers may be established to serve workers being
dislocated from a particular employer or industry, or to serve
residents of public housing.
(2) The One-Stop centers also make intensive services available to
adults and dislocated workers, as needed, either by the One-Stop
operator directly or through contracts with service providers that are
approved by the Local Board.
(3) Through the One-Stop system, adults and dislocated workers
needing training are provided Individual Training Accounts (ITA's) and
access to lists of eligible providers of training. These lists contain
quality consumer information, including cost and performance
information for each of the providers, so that participants can make
informed choices on where to use their ITA's. (ITA's are more fully
discussed in subpart D of this part.)
