Bill Summary

Relative to establishing a State Workforce Development Board.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a new State Workforce Development Board to align the commonwealth's workforce development programs with federal requirements, specifically the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), to ensure continued funding and improve job seeker opportunities and employer needs. The new board will replace the previous State Workforce Investment Board and will consist of 33 members, a significant reduction from the previous board's 65 members, aiming for greater effectiveness. The membership will be diverse, with at least 51% representing business and industry, 20% representing the workforce (including labor organizations and apprenticeship programs), and specific government officials, ensuring broad representation from across the commonwealth. The board will be responsible for advising the governor on workforce development strategies, assessing the effectiveness of the public workforce system, and promoting innovative approaches to meet regional workforce needs.
