SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 40
(By Senators Unger and McKenzie)
Recognizing the achievements of the Governor's Workforce Investment
Division by enhancing job opportunities for our citizens.
Whereas, Over the past several years, significant inroads have
been made which have brought positive change to the workforce
development landscape; and
Whereas, The establishment of the Governor's Workforce
Investment Division within the West Virginia Development Office is
the cornerstone of creating a combined effort between the two
entities in order to build a better workforce; and
Whereas, The new WORKFORCE West Virginia Management
Information System is now in operation. West Virginia is the first
state to have not only the Workforce Investment Act but also the
Wagner-Peyser Job Service systems operational in the framework of
a statewide management information system; and
Whereas, The advancement of a modern on-line system for
workforce development has influenced the U. S. Department of Labor
to set aside a $3 million incentive grant to West Virginia in order
to gain greater technology to improve the access and use of the
integrated One-Stop system; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the Senate hereby recognizes the achievements of the Governor's Workforce Investment Division by enhancing job
opportunities for our citizens; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the advancement of the modern, on-line
system being used to assist the advancement of West Virginia's
workforce is recognized as a first and can be used as a model for
other states to utilize as they strive to enhance their workforce
development systems; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to forward
a copy of this resolution to the appropriate officials of West
Virginia's Workforce Development Office.
