On that day, new legislation under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014 went into effect. Changes in labor market demand and the absence of a qualified labor pool mandated new approaches to education, skills training, and service delivery. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) replaces WIA and will be in effect for the next five years (2015-2020).
WORKFORCE BUFFALO is a network of employment and training providers and communitysupport agencies, committed to changing the face of workforce development in our community. Acknowledging the need to offer both employers and job applicants a streamlined method of accessing workforce development services, we have partnered and worked together to develop and implement a new and innovative One-Stop approach to service delivery.
I am writing to give thanks and show my gratitude for the opportunities and assistance I was provided at the Buffalo Employment and Training Center. A big thank you to my Counselor for her persistence in helping me find employment. I am forever grateful. Since 2017, Western NewYork's unemployment rate has been the sixth most improved in the United States, behind Virginia Beach, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas and Chicago.

I've been trying to get enrolled in a healthcare training program. Employees have never called me back even after coming in to the office and speaking to someone. They are quick to hand you a packet and give you are orientation as if you never had a job in your life. It's aggravating trying to get assistance with employment or training and nobody cares. All I wanted to do was to attend a workshop. I'm disappointed in the service and will go elsewhere in the future.

I wanted the grant for CDL A training. I was well prepared I have my CDL A permit and medical card. I was told by the counselor MaryJane Janora that she doesn't think I can handle the trucking industry, she lied and said there are no local trucking jobs, that she doesn't think I can handle over the road. I have never been put down so badly by a counselor that's supposed to help you. I thought highly of EOC but after that I don't anymore. Just sad because they have so many jobs in that industry that wanted to hire me.

I was scheduled to come in for orientation without calling to see HPOG Counselor Patricia Williams after deciding to. I was connected to four different women before actually speaking with her.i was confused as to why i needed to speak with that many people just to say that i had a referral. While repeating myself just to see if i qualify for a grant that i know i do the lady gets on the phone and left me completely DISCOURAGED.

I walked in for a God Damm sponsorship. I have a job I know how to use a computer and crank out a resume. I try explaining this to everyone there and everyone was like you need to go to the orientation. thinking I'd get the help I wanted I sat down filled out a packet of info so I could be in there system cuz they said I needed it to apply. I sit through a 20 min orientation just to be told to come back for a workshop. biggest waste of time.

Went there this week! Everyone was super helpful and the benefits of being a member there was amazing! I can't really say much about the job process or the job counselors, because I just started! But the facility is clean and the staff is friendly. Looking forward to what opportunities all come my way!
