Trends Reshaping America's Workforce Development System
John Twomey, NYATEP
Thursday, December 17, 2009
2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m Eastern Time
After years of impasse on Workforce Investment Act reauthorization, forces are converging toward a major reshaping of our workforce development system in 2010. The Administration, Congress, public interest groups, and stakeholders are developing proposals for what the new system will look like and how it will be administered.
Will you be ready for the change? This session will highlight the major trends developing around education and training, lifelong learning, the continuum of services to meet the needs of all workers, and more. In August 2009, Jane Oates the Assistant Secretary for USDOL Employment and Training Administration told a national meeting in Washington that three reports were shaping USDOL’s thinking on Reauthorization and workforce policy: America’s Perfect Storm; Preparing Today’s Workers for Tomorrow’s Jobs; and Working Learners. This webinar will crosswalk these three reports and allow you to think about how you will adapt if big changes become a reality. Jumpstart your thinking about how to prepare for tomorrow today!

2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m Eastern Time
National think tanks are recommending that local workforce area boundaries be redrawn and centered around regions. Like green jobs, regions can be hard to define.
- Does your area want to be a region?
- How do you become a region?
- What if becoming a region is not so appealing?
- Can you be a region and not be a region at the same time?
- What are the advantages to being a region? Are there disadvantages?
This session will help prepare your area for proposed changes and provide you with options, considerations and solutions to questions you have about governance and your role in a regional environment.
