Comments on Reauthorization of the Workforce Investment Act (2002)

For the sponsors of Workforce Innovations 2002, one goal was to bring the message of “employer engagement” into discussions of reauthorization of the Workforce Investment Act. In the summer of 2002, that message was part of “Comments on WIA Reauthorization” that JFF submitted to the U.S. Department of Labor. JFF focused on changes to improve WIA’s ability, in combination with welfare reform and other federal legislation, to help address the skill, credential, employment, and earning needs of our nation’s emerging and incumbent workforce, as well as the businesses and organizations that employ them.
