Workforce development: high-performance boards.
Summary
The federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998 provides for workforce investment activities, including activities in which states may participate. Existing law contains various programs for job training and employment investment, including work incentive programs, as specified. Existing law requires the local chief elected officials in a local workforce development area, to form, pursuant to specified guidelines, a local workforce investment board to plan and oversee the workforce investment system, and further requires the Governor to certify one local board for each local area in the state once every 2 years. This bill would require the Governor to establish, through the California Workforce Investment Board, standards for certification of high-performance local workforce investment boards, in accordance with specified criteria. The bill would also require the Governor and the Legislature, in consultation with the California Workforce Investment Board, to reserve specified federal discretionary funds for high-performance local workforce investment boards. This bill would also require the California Workforce Investment Board to establish a policy for the allocation of those funds to those boards.
