Last spring, in March
of 2017, the Innovation and Opportunity Network (ION) hosted a WIOA
Wednesday on universal design and taking a customer-centered
approach in the American Job Center. Although you can always access the event’s
recording, the WorkforceGPS Team understands you might not have an hour to
dedicate to watching it. That’s why we have created an abridged version that’s less than three
minutes long, as well as an executive
summary of the full event.
