2.0 PURPOSE
2.1 The purpose of this Agreement is to integrate the County’s workforce development system into the
Town’s library system to support workforce development and training efforts that will enable
Wickenburg’s employers to attract and retain top talent as well as provide Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act (WIOA) program services to eligible adult and youth. Service delivery will be provided

2.2 The Town shall compensate the County on a monthly basis for program service delivery. The total
compensation amount shall not exceed $43,122.44 for the period of July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019.
3.0 BACKGROUND
3.1 The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, 29 U.S.C. § 3101, et seq., Public Law 113-128 (WIOA)
was signed into law on July 22, 2014. WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment,
education, training and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with
skilled workers.
3.2 Maricopa County is a designated Local Workforce Development Area under the federal WIOA. The
County operates two (2) comprehensive Workforce Development One Stop Career Centers
(“Centers”), to provide employment-related services to job-seekers and employers in Maricopa
County. Services provided in the Centers include workshops on job search and job retention skills,
assessment tools for measuring interests, aptitude & skills, career exploration, vocational counseling,
funding assistance for occupational skills training and job placement assistance. Resources such as
computers, fax machines and copiers are available to assist in job search activities. The Centers hold
job fairs for local employers recruiting employees to fill vacant positions. The Centers also provide
transition assistance for local employers who experience a reduction in force and, therefore, must lay-
off employees.
3.3 The Town’s Library will house a satellite office for the County, providing condensed services listed
above. The services provided in the Town’s Library will benefit job seekers and employers who cannot
travel to access services in the County’s Centers.
