WATCH NORTH LAKE TAHOE CHAMBER MEMBERSHIP GROW! New Member: Golden Sierra Job Training Agency On August 7, 1998, President Clinton signed the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA), comprehensive reform legislation that replaced the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) and amended the Wagner-Peyser Act by reforming the Federal job training programs and creating a new, comprehensive workforce investment system. The reformed system is designed to be customer-focused to assist participants to find and select from many possible options the career assistance or training that best meets their needs. The goal of the system is to enhance the productivity and competitiveness of the nation and improve the quality of the workforce. More specifically, WIA aims to increase the occupational skills or the employment, retention, and earnings of participants. Stated more simply, WIA helps people who want to find, get, and keep jobs and it helps U.S. companies hire the skilled workers they need to remain successful.
