On August 7, 1998... the
Workforce Investment Act was signed into law. It reformed federal job
training programs and created a new, extensive workforce investment system.
The reformed system is intended to
be customer-focused in order to assist Americans accessing information and
services needed to manage their careers while at the same time helping
businesses locate skilled workers.
The Goal of the Act... is to
increase employment, retention and earnings of customers. In doing so, the
quality of the workforce will improve such that economic growth will be
sustained, productivity and competitiveness will be enhanced, and welfare
dependency will be reduced.
As an
integral part of the Workforce Development System, the Baton Rouge Business and
Career Solution Center is designed to provide integration of workforce development
services to insure a seamless service environment for our customers-both
employers and job seekers alike.
