Subject: [Workplace 551] Thursday Resources

Workplace peers,

I have only two resources to share with you this week, though the second
one from about.com has several resources within it that you may find
useful. 

I do have questions, though, and since this is a light week for
resources, please help me by letting me know what resources you have
found the most useful. Then would you also tell me about when there is a
long list of resources, do you look briefly through all the abstracts,
or do you tend to just skip over them because you don't have time for so
many?  I'm trying to determine whether to go ahead and share a long list
with you when they all come in the same week and are most timely, or if
I should save some that are not so urgent for the following week? 

Please just reply to the list.  Thanks for your input!

Donna

A Vision for the Future of the Workforce Investment System This short
paper reviews the history of the workforce investment system in the
United States, describes the large size of the low-wage labor market and
the growth in the availability of work supports for low-wage workers,
and offers recommendations for expanding the Workforce Investment Act,
initially in a demonstration context, to focus more on job retention and
advancement by engaging private employers and to enhance the
accessibility of work supports.
