The Laguna Department of Education
established Partners for Success through the Indian
Employment, Training and Related Services
Demonstration Act, Public Law 102-477. Five programs
were consolidated to form PFS: Workforce Investment
Act (WIA), Johnson O'Malley (JOM), Adult Education,
Employment Assistance, and Higher Education. By
applying PL 102-477, PFS increases the effectiveness
and efficiency of these programs.
The law gives
tribes the opportunity to consolidate their
federally-funded programs into one fully-integrated
program to allow for greater flexibility in the
delivery of services. One advantage of this
consolidation is that tribal members no longer have
to apply to separate program to obtain the services
they need. The Pueblo of Laguna is the first tribe
in New Mexico to become a 477 participant.
Partners
for Success believe that employment, in great
measure, defines individuals and their place in the
family, community, and society. We believe
developing a partnership with participants is vital
to realizing their potential, and that participation
will impact positively on individuals, their
families and the Laguna community.
