Description
Workforce development. Changes the name of the Virginia Workforce Council to the Virginia Board of Workforce Development and provides that Virginia Board of Workforce Development staff is to be provided by the Chief Workforce Development Officer. The bill provides that the lead staff shall supervise the subordinate staff of the Board and that subordinate staff of the Board shall be independent of any other state agency that provides workforce services. The bill increases the membership of the Board by adding the Director of the Virginia Jobs Investment Program or his designee and the Adjutant General of the National Guard. The bill replaces the Governor as the Chief Workforce Development Officer, provides that the Governor now appoints the Chief Workforce Development Officer, and sets out the qualifications for this position. The bill requires the Board to develop initiatives to increase the number of private and nonprofit training vendors serving the Virginia Workforce Network, created in the bill. The bill also requires the Board to create a military transition assistance committee to advise the Board and the Chief Workforce Development Officer on reforms necessary to (i) connect more employers to transitioning military personnel and trailing spouse through transition assistance programs, thereby reducing the veteran unemployment rate to no more than the statewide unemployment average; (ii) better integrate the Veterans Employment Representatives and Disabled Veterans Outreach Program into all Virginia Workforce Centers; (iii) standardize all veteran service qualifications statewide; and (iv) eliminate all process and qualification barriers for veterans to ensure that qualified veterans have access to training and employment services within 10 business days after their first request for services. The bill contains technical amendments.
