Today, the House Committee on 澳门六合彩开奖预测 and the Workforce held a markup on the Workforce Investment Improvement Act of 2012, which would help reform the nation鈥檚 job training system by strengthening employer engagement in state and local workforce decisions, as well as by giving states and localities more flexibility. 澳门六合彩开奖预测聽聽to the committee outlining 澳门六合彩开奖预测鈥檚 support for a strong and skilled workforce.
澳门六合彩开奖预测 highlighted that the construction industry is made up of predominantly small employers. In the past, many employers in the industry have had trouble connecting with local workforce investment systems or workforce investment boards (WIBs) due to the structure of the boards and types of training offered locally. However, H.R. 4297 will strengthen the presence and participation of employers on WIBs, and this increased participation by employers will be a welcomed change to the construction industry. Local employers can ensure that local job training will address workforce gaps and better fit local population needs.
澳门六合彩开奖预测 intends to continue to work with congressional leaders on reforming the job training system and to ensure that the industry benefits from its reforms. The legislation will now head for a vote in the House; its outlook for consideration in the Senate is less clear.
