Abstract	The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) focuses on integrating and streamlining services, requiring that most employment and training services, including those provided under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant, be provided through the One-Stop Center System. States are implementing WIA, but not all will have all steps completed by July 1, 2000. While WIA does not require states to provide all mandatory program services on-site at one-stop centers, states report that many services are. The largest sources of funding to support the one-stop infrastructure and operations are most often WIA-mandated labor programs. A majority of states report at least some relationship between one-stop centers and TANF, an optional program under WIA, at the state or local level. Challenges to implementing an integrated system result from establishing and formalizing WIA-required partnerships; developing the one-stop infrastructure; and integrating program services while responding to multiple federal requirements. Despite challenges, states and localities are developing promising integrated service delivery approaches. Areas critical to successful service integration under WIA are attracting and serving employers; bringing in job seekers; creating a customer-friendly environment for job seekers; providing job seekers with tailored and seamless services; and helping job seekers become self-sufficient.
