SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: This meeting is being held pursuant to section 308 of
the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA) (Pub. L.
113-128), which amends section 15 of the Wagner-Peyser Act of 1933 (29
U.S.C. 491-2). The WIAC is an important component of WIOA. The WIAC is
a Federal advisory committee of workforce and labor market information
experts representing a broad range of national, state, and local data
and information users and producers. The WIAC was established in
accordance with provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), as amended (5 U.S.C. app.) and will act in accordance with the
applicable provisions of FACA and its implementing regulation at 41 CFR
102-3. The purpose of the WIAC is to provide recommendations to the
Secretary of Labor (Secretary), working jointly through the Assistant
Secretary for Employment and Training and the Commissioner of Labor
Statistics, to address: (1) the evaluation and improvement of the
nationwide workforce and labor market information (WLMI) system and
statewide systems that comprise the nationwide system; and (2) how the
Department of Labor (Department) and the states will cooperate in the
management of those systems. These systems include programs to produce
employment-related statistics and state and local WLMI.
The Department anticipates the WIAC will accomplish its objectives
by: (1) studying WLMI issues; (2) seeking and sharing information on
innovative approaches, new technologies, and data to inform employment,
skills training, and workforce and economic development decision making
and policy; and (3) advising the Secretary on how the WLMI system can
best support workforce development, planning, and program development.
Additional information is available at <a href="http://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/wioa/wiac/meetings">www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/wioa/wiac/meetings</a>.
Purpose: The WIAC is continually identifying and reviewing issues
and aspects of the WLMI system and statewide systems that comprise the
nationwide system and how the Department and the states will cooperate
in the management of those systems. As part of this process, the
Advisory Council meets to gather information and to engage in
deliberative and planning activities to facilitate the development and
provision of its recommendations to the Secretary in a timely manner.
Agenda: There are three agenda topics for this meeting. One, review
and approve recommendations the WIAC members discussed at the previous
meeting held September 9 and 10, 2024. Two, discuss topics for future
consideration of the WIAC. Third, determine a workplan for developing
the next set of WIAC recommendations. A detailed agenda will be
available at <a href="http://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/wioa/wiac/meetings">www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/wioa/wiac/meetings</a> shortly before
the November 6, 2024, meeting commences.
The Advisory Council will open the floor for public comment at
approximately 4 p.m. EST for approximately 10 minutes. However, that
time may change at the WIAC chair's discretion.
