Suppose a CBO missed the RFP process. Are there other funding options available to receive WIA funds after the WIB has awarded contracts?
There are a variety of ways in which CBOs, private or public organizations can receive WIA funds. They can be funded directly through a competitive process or they can be funded indirectly through a subcontract with one of the One-Stop Career Centers or Youth program operators. The One-Stop Career Centers and Youth providers have established partnerships, subcontract agreements and MOUs with a variety of agencies throughout the community to provide services to WIA participants (both monetary and non-monetary relationships). Agencies are encouraged to contact WIA program operators and establish partnerships with them. This will allow them the chance to gain experience working with WIA participants and become familiar with the required performance outcomes. Our current provider list is available on our website, and you can call our office to request information. The ACWIB has also received funding from special grants (National Emergency Grant, Nurses Workforce Initiative, Foster Care Pil
