Summary

Deputy Chief of Staff for Workforce Development. Designates the Governor as Chief Workforce Development Officer for the Commonwealth. The position will replace the Special Advisor to the Governor for Workforce Development created in 2004. The duties of the Chief Workforce Development Officer, which may be delegated to a senior staff member of the Governor's immediate staff, will include serving as lead staff to the Virginia Workforce Council and creating and implementing a strategic plan for the statewide delivery of workforce development and training programs and activities, which shall include performance measures, and evaluating performances based on these measures. The bill also requires the Governor to (i) develop a statewide strategic plan addressing the need for reforms in workforce policy, including the implementation of workforce development and training initiatives and policies by December 1, 2006, and (ii) identify and implement strategies to optimize the role of the Virginia Community College System in workforce development. Both the strategic plan and strategies are to be submitted to the Chairmen of the House Appropriations and Senate Finance Committees for review prior to final adoption or implementation. The bill is similar to Senate bill 394. View Full Text »
