Report
Summary
On behalf of the Phoenix Business and Workforce Development Board, the City contracts with Goodwill as the ARIZONA@WORK City of Phoenix One-Stop Operator to coordinate integrated workforce and employment services at the City’s two American Job Centers in compliance with Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) regulations. Effective July 2018, the ARIZONA@WORK City of Phoenix South Job Center will transition to an integrated, comprehensive job center, offering greater services to the surrounding community and will require one-stop operator services. With the funds requested, adding this third location to the Goodwill contract will allow for the necessary one-stop operator services needed at this new location.
