Presidential Advisory Committee on Expanding Training Opportunities. At 
its third meeting, the Committee will discuss a variety of topics 
related to their tasks: work group progress; structured interview 
results; chronicle report review and discussion; and transition issues. 
The Committee will also discuss their overall approach, timeline, and 
plans to accomplish their tasks. Committee functions include (1) 
providing an independent assessment of (a) progress made by the Federal 
Government in its use and integration of technology in training 
programs; (b) how Federal Government programs, initiatives, and 
policies can encourage or accelerate training technology to provide 
more accessible, timely, and cost-effective training opportunities for 
all Americans; (c) mechanisms for the Federal Government to encourage 
private sector investment in the development of high quality 
instructional software and wider deployment and use of technology-
mediated instruction so that all Americans may take advantage of the 
opportunities provided by learning technology; and (d) the appropriate 
Federal Government role in research and development for learning 
technologies and their applications in order to develop high quality 
training and education opportunities for all Americans and (2) an 
analysis of options for helping adult Americans finance the training 
and post-secondary education needed to upgrade skills and gain new 
knowledge.
