National Survey Design for One-Stop Career Centers

New Editions is designing a national survey of all Workforce Investment Act (WIA) One-Stop Career Centers. The survey considers four major areas of operations: accessibility, partnerships with other agencies and programs, outreach, and day-to-day operations. The survey will gather descriptive data and assess compliance. Respondents are all career centers (comprehensive, affiliated, specialized, kiosks, mobile units) administered by State and Local Workforce Investment Areas that receive their core funding through WIA. We will utilize a combination of self-reported information, administrative data, and site visit observations. The results will be incorporated into an electronic database that can be updated and expanded in the future.
