  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:   Passage of the federal “Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act”, 29 U.S.C. sec. 3101 et seq., gives the state a unique opportunity to develop a work force program and employment system designed to meet the needs of employers, job seekers, and those who want to further their careers;    The federal act requires that training and employment programs be designed and managed at the local government level, where the needs of businesses and individuals are best understood;    The federal act requires the involvement of business, both to provide information and leadership and to play an active role in ensuring that the system prepares people for current and future jobs;    Passage of the federal act provided local governments with the control and flexibility to carry out the federal act's purposes, subject to the final authority and approval of the governor; and    Therefore, it is in the state's best interest to adopt the Colorado work force development program set forth in this part 2.       The general assembly recommends that:   To the extent possible, counties or multi-county areas integrate their work force development program sources of funding to maximize the resources available at the local level to provide the services authorized under this part 2; and    As the responsibility for implementing work force programs continues to be devolved to local governments, Title I moneys identified for state administration of programs implemented at the local level be as specified in Title I of the federal “Workforce Investment Act of 1998”.
