Current Narrative:
(B) Alabama Department of Commerce and Department of Labor are implementing an integrated database for WIOA Title I and Title III, Trade Act, and Veterans. The new Virtual One Stop (VOS) system replaced the two old separate systems, Alabama JobLink (AJL) and Alaworks, and is a vibrant system able to provide services to those seeking employment and training. The system also contains data from the Title II and IV core partners via a data sharing agreement. This system is also the main source of workforce data for the ATLAS system. The system has a common registration, intake and reporting and for those participants that are common to all programs in the system will have a common exit from all services in the workforce system. WIOA reporting for Title I and III, TAA, and Veterans will be compiled and fed to the federal reporting system from the new VOS system. This will ensure common participants, common outcomes, and enhanced reporting for all partners included in the case management system.
