States on September 11, 2001, many workers and their families
are dealing with job loss and other effects of an economic
slowdown.

create the Nation's coordinated workforce development system,
under which assistance is provided for workers who have been
laid off, including job training assistance.

such as--
(A) one-stop career centers, which provide
integrated resources for job seekers and businesses,
including job search, job placement services and job
referrals to employers;
(B) individual training accounts, which are job
training vouchers established by local areas and given
to individuals to allow them to choose where they would
like to receive their job training; and
(C) rapid response services, under which States
establish on-site offices at affected businesses to
make immediate contact with employees and employers to
provide assistance in the areas of job search and
training activities.

to help individual dislocated workers and provide rapid
response services in times of mass layoffs or dislocations.
