The Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) is passed to integrate various federal education, training and employment services for job seekers and employers. It has a number of disability-related provisions. Its Section 188 specifically mandates equal opportunity to apply for and participate in WIA-funded activities and services; it reauthorizes Rehabilitation Act programs through Fiscal Year 2003 and links them to state and local workforce development systems; and it expands Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act to ensure that federal departments and agencies procure, use and maintain accessible electronic and information technology.
