Determination of
Subsequent Eligibility under the Workforce Investment
Act (WIA)
In 1999 the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) approved a
rule for the determination of subsequent eligibility for
training providers under the Workforce Investment Act.
While the Texas Skill Standards Board (TSSB) was asked to
comment on this rule, and did so during the public comment
period, the TSSB does not have any authority with regard
to the rule for the determination of subsequent
eligibility or its implementation.
The TSSB is attempting to assist both local boards and
providers through this web site. The section entitled "WIA
Training Provider Information" is solely for the purposes
of providing some information to training providers. For
questions concerning the rule or its implementation,
please contact the Texas Workforce Commission.
The Rule
The following language was included in the Rules for WIA
Training Provider Certification [§841.44
Determination of Subsequent Eligibility, subsection
(b)]:
No later than July 1, 2000, each LWDB shall ensure that
training providers, in developing programs of training
services and establishing performance criteria for
successful program completion, use in descending
order:
-
skill standards recognized or conditionally
recognized by the Texas Skill Standards Board; or
-
industry-endorsed skill standards; or
-
skill requirements determined by employers.
