WIA Section 188 Checklist
admin 24 Feb 2011 | : Accessibility, Disability Etiquette, Reasonable Accommodations
If you are a Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funded program or are a partner of a One-Stop, today’s resource is actually the source of many of the recommendations I share with One-Stops during my one-on-one consultations and disability-related trainings. It’s meant to help providers in implementing the regulations related to serving customers with disabilities.
I’d recommend saving this as a resource or web “favorite,” so you can easily access it if you need to clarify or research specific information: http://www.dol.gov/oasam/programs/crc/section188.htm
