1 SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

2 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

3 (1) one of our Nation’s greatest economic re4 sources is our workers, who are the most productive

5 in the world;

6 (2) due to emerging technologies in the work7 place, global competition, the restructuring of work

8 organizations, the emergence of quality managing,

9 the loss of many low-skilled jobs, and more frequent

10 job and career shifts, American workers will need to

11 enhance their skills now and on a continuing and

12 lifelong basis;

13 (3) because our education and training pro14 grams have been developed independently over many

15 years, there is no national strategy for a coherent,

16 well-coordinated workforce preparation and develop17 ment system;

18 (4) reports from the General Accounting Office

19 recently identified 154 different Federal programs,

20 totaling $24,000,000,000 administered by 14 dif21 ferent Federal agencies, which offer some form of

22 education, job training or employment assistance to

23 out-of-school youths and adults;
6

•HR 4407 IH

1 (5) these General Accounting Office reports le2 gitimately point to the many problems of duplication

3 and fragmentation that exist within the varied Fed4 eral workforce preparation and development pro5 grams;

6 (6) a major goal of any reform of the Federal

7 workforce preparation and development system must

8 be to eliminate unnecessary duplication and frag9 mentation in workforce preparation and development

10 programs, to ensure the highest quality of services

11 to the largest number of individuals;

12 (7) the focus of reform efforts should be to

13 streamline workforce preparation and development

14 programs at the Federal level and provide flexibility

15 needed by States and local communities to establish

16 and carry out effective and cohesive programs;

17 (8) while a major goal of this reform must be

18 to further consolidate similar programs, simply

19 blocking these programs together with no direction

20 for reform will not necessarily ensure a better sys21 tem;

22 (9) most of the pieces needed to develop a co23 herent workforce preparation and development sys24 tem exist at the Federal, State, and local levels, and

25 therefore massive new programs are not necessary;
7

•HR 4407 IH

1 (10) a strategic planning process is needed at

2 all levels of government to rationalize the use of re3 sources from numerous Federal education and train4 ing programs to ensure that each program contrib5 utes to a well-designed, high performance workforce

6 preparation and development system;

7 (11) many States and communities are experi8 menting with and designing workforce preparation

9 and development systems responsive to their needs,

10 and Federal efforts must enhance and encourage

11 their efforts, and not prescribe a single national so12 lution;

13 (12) the private sector must be viewed as a crit14 ical partner in the workforce preparation and devel15 opment system; and

16 (13) the public, which funds and uses workforce

17 preparation and development programs, should hold

18 the system accountable to high standards of per19 formance.

20 (b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this Act are—

21 (1) to eliminate duplication and fragmentation

22 in Federal education, job training, and employment

23 programs that serve out-of-school youths and adults,

24 through the consolidation of Federal workforce prep25 aration and development programs, thus resulting in
8

•HR 4407 IH

1 administrative savings, and providing States and

2 local communities with streamlined and more flexible

3 funding for the purpose of better assisting such

4 youths and adults;

5 (2) to establish a framework at the Federal,

6 State, and local levels to develop a strategic planning

7 process and a coordinated, coherent administrative

8 structure for programs that prepare youths and

9 adults for the workplace;

10 (3) to encourage States and local communities

11 to develop strategic, collaborative leadership in the

12 planning and administration of Federal workforce

13 preparation and development programs to ensure

14 that such programs are responsive to the needs of

15 individuals desiring such services, workers, the com16 munity, and business and industry, as well as result17 ing in the elimination of fragmentation and duplica18 tion between workforce preparation and development

19 programs;

20 (4) to provide States and communities in21 creased flexibility in the design of a comprehensive

22 workforce preparation and development system by

23 waiving legislated and regulatory mandates of indi24 vidual workforce preparation and development pro-
9

•HR 4407 IH

1 grams, thereby allowing State and local innovation

2 and experimentation;

3 (5) to encourage communities to establish com4 munity job resource centers to serve as easily acces5 sible and recognized single points of entry into the

6 local workforce preparation and development system

7 where youths and adults may receive information

8 and assistance about the local labor market and re9 lated career opportunities, and assistance in entering

10 the appropriate workforce preparation and develop11 ment program;

12 (6) to expand and improve the quality and effi13 ciency of services provided under workforce prepara14 tion and development programs, particularly for in15 dividuals eligible for services under such programs

16 who have significant barriers to employment;

17 (7) to hold workforce preparation and develop18 ment programs accountable for providing high qual19 ity services; and

20 (8) to improve access to information regarding

21 career opportunities, eligibility for services, program

22 availability, and program performance through ex23 pansion of State and local management information

24 systems and improved and compatible data collec25 tion.
