(From Business Wire) — Tennessee continues to invest in its workforce, and the latest development is the enhanced Workforce Investment Act website that launched recently. The Tennessee Workforce Investment Act Eligible Training Provider List underwent a major reconstruction in efforts to design a more informative and user-friendly website for potential WIA participants and providers. The service can be found at TN.gov. The Tennessee Workforce Investment Act is focused on supporting many types of workers including job seekers, laid-off workers, youth, veterans, persons with disabilities, and employers. This program is designed to promote and enhance employment, job retention, earnings, and occupational skills improvement for participants by providing them with an updated list of statewide training providers. A major change to the website is the visibility of performance data information along with basic program demographics. “We were very successful in our goal of designing a website that was more informative and at the same time user-friendly for both students and providers,” said Roosevelt Noble, Director of the Tennessee Workforce Investment Act. Now when students click on a particular program to inquire about the cost or length of a qualified training program, they can also receive information about the program’s completion and placement rates. In addition to the performance information, all of the WIA forms were modified to allow for students and providers to type the information and submit the forms electronically as attachments.
