California Workforce Development Board: task force.

Under existing law, the California Workforce Development Board is the body responsible for assisting the Governor in the development, oversight, and continuous improvement of California's workforce investment system and the alignment of the education and workforce investment systems to the needs of the 21st century economy and workforce. Existing law prescribes specific tasks with which the board assists the Governor, including the development and updating of comprehensive state performance accountability measures, including state-adjusted levels of performance, to assess the effectiveness of the core programs in the state as required under specific federal law. This bill would direct the California Workforce Development Board to convene and lead a task force with the goal of resolving inconsistencies among performance measures for the state's workforce education and training programs. The bill would require that the task force consist of 12 members, including a representative from each of 7 state departments. The bill would require the task force to consult with workforce and economic development officials, employers, and other agencies that administer workforce programs, as specified. The bill would require the task force to provide recommendations to the Legislature on or before an unspecified date.
