EOWB Policies - Service Provider

Per the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), Title I formula funds allocated to local areas for adults and dislocated workers must be used to provide career and training through the one-stop delivery system (WorkSource). Per 20 CFR 680.140 of the same legislation, local workforce boards (Eastern Oregon Workforce Board) are responsible for determining the most appropriate delivery of these services.

Furthermore, and to comply with Executive Order 13-08 of the State of Oregon which disallows for Local Boards to provide direct services to participants, EOWB has selected the following provider of Title I Adult and Dislocated Worker Jobseeker and Employer Services through open and competitive procurement processes:

Training and Employment Consortium (TEC) is considered a subrecipient of federal funds and is required to follow Uniform Guidance. As a subrecipient, TEC is monitored annually for fiscal and programmatic compliance and provide regular reporting on performance measures. Contracts are effective on a July 1 - June 30 basis with the option to extend for up to 4 years.

EOWB used a competitive process to select Training and Employment Consortium (TEC) to carry out all the WIOA Title I Youth 14 elements and services.  TEC is considered a subrecipient of federal funds and is required to follow Uniform Guidance. As a subrecipient, TEC is also monitored annually for fiscal and programmatic compliance and provide regular reporting on performance measures. Contracts are effective on a July 1 - June 30 basis with the option to extend for up to 4 years.

In Oregon, the Eligible Training Provider List for all local areas is managed by the Higher Education Coordinating Commission and can be found at this link.
