I find that I am more likely to investigate resources if they are presented to me in smaller doses, you know, "good things come in little packages".And, thanks for the work that you do. It is appreciated.

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.
