 A Vision for the Future of the Workforce Investment System
On December 4, 2006, John W. Wallace, Ph.D., of MDRC speaking before
the 2006 conference of the National Workforce Association, presented
improvements to the workforce investment system. He proposed developing the system beyond the capacity
to prepare unemployed people for work, so that the system
would provide assistance to low wage workers and their employers to
improve job retention and advancement rates, and increase the rate
of work supports.
The proposal
includes expanding the target population; working with employers on
job retention and advancement/retraining; becoming an access point
for work supports. If the system changes to develop work supports,
performance standards
should also be reexamined.
