 CHAPTER V--EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 663--ADULT AND DISLOCATED WORKER ACTIVITIES UNDER TITLE I OF THE WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT--Table of Contents
 
                 Subpart E--Eligible Training Providers
 
Sec. 663.500  What is the purpose of this subpart?


    The workforce investment system established under WIA emphasizes 
informed customer choice, system performance, and continuous 
improvement. The eligible provider process is part of the strategy for 
achieving these goals. Local Boards, in partnership with the State, 
identify training providers and programs whose performance qualifies 
them to receive WIA funds to train adults and dislocated workers. In 
order to maximize customer choice and assure that all significant 
population groups are served, States and local areas should administer 
the eligible provider process in a manner to assure that significant 
numbers of competent providers, offering a wide variety of training 
programs and occupational choices, are available to customers. After 
receiving core and intensive services and in consultation with case 
managers, eligible participants who need training use the list of these 
eligible providers to make an informed choice. The ability of providers 
to successfully perform, the procedures State and Local Boards use to 
establish eligibility, and the degree to which information, including 
performance information, on those providers is made available to 
customers eligible for training services, are key factors affecting the 
successful implementation of the Statewide workforce investment system. 
This subpart describes the process for determining eligible training 
providers.
