In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
May 22, 2006.
Whereas national workforce professional organizations and the local workforce
investment boards will celebrate National One-Stop Month from May 1 to
31, 2006;
Whereas workforce investment boards and One-Stop delivery system were created
under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and are designed to provide a
full range of employment solutions to employers and job seekers in a
single location;
Whereas more than 600 workforce investment boards and 2,000 One-Stop Career
Centers are enhancing the productivity and competitiveness of the Nation
by providing workforce solutions for hundreds of thousands of employers
annually across the United States;
Whereas, in the spirit of the Workforce Investment Act, the cornerstones of
maximizing customer choice, employment and training solutions, and
universal access are the primary missions of the One-Stop delivery
system, allowing more than 14,000,000 job seekers annually the
opportunity to connect with the tools they need for their next career
opportunity;
Whereas each year the One-Stop delivery system and regional workforce investment
boards contribute to the competitiveness of the Nation's workforce by
providing training assistance through grants to job seekers and employed
workers and other programs to more than 400,000 Americans so they may
upgrade or acquire new skills; and
Whereas, in the spirit of the Workforce Investment Act, the private sector
leadership of the regional workforce investment boards provides the
planning, oversight, and accountability of workforce strategies that
succeed in communities across the country: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) supports the goals of National One-Stop Month; and
(2) supports the efforts of the workforce investment boards and One-
Stop delivery system in preparing the Nation's workforce.
