Description

Virginia Board of Workforce Development. Makes several changes to the Virginia Board of Workforce Development, including (i) requiring quarterly meetings of the Board; (ii) establishing a full-time director position to be supervised by the Governor's Chief Workforce Development Advisor and dedicated to supporting the Board's operations; and (iii) adding, as an area of policy advice to the Governor, issues to create a business-driven system that increases the rates of attainment of workforce credentials and job attainment. In addition, the bill increases the size of the Board from 26 to 29 members by reshaping the executive branch membership, reducing the number of legislative members from four to two, and increasing the number of citizen members from 14 to 15. The bill also makes several technical amendments required with the transition from the federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998 to the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014.
