Guests Kim Neilsen and Elaine Lytle share information about how to use various WIOA services in Yolo county.

"The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act [WIOA] is the primary United States federal workforce development legislation designed to bring about increased coordination among federal workforce development and related programs." (according to Wikipedia.)

While the law is national, implemetation is through local agencies and partners.  Here WIOA is thru Yolo County's 'Employment Services' which "provides employment resources; offers workshops regarding interviews, resumes, and job search tips; and provides public access to the One-Stop Career Centers at the Woodland, West Sacramento, and Winters locations. It also assists CalWORKs recipients participating in the Welfare-to-Work program." (per the County website)

Here we are in the last of Chapter 30 and the first part of Chapter 31 in "Roughing It." Mark Twain gets stranded on a hotel island in the middle of the flooded Carson River. Eight days go by for all the standed people and then the fighs start. It's Twain at his best writing. Don't miss it.
