Dear Workforce Colleagues and Partners I am very excited to introduce over 300 exciting new workforce products tools and solutions to help you ad- dress workforce challenges in the industry sectors driving your state and regional economies. Since the passage of the Workforce Investment Act in 1998 the Workforce Investment System has experienced tremendous evolution as we adapt to changing economies and ever increasing need for talent development and quality services for job seekers and employers. Throughout the system Workforce Investment Boards One Stop Career Centers Community Colleges and other education and training providers business and industry commu- nity-based organizations and other partners have collaborated to identify workforce challenges in their communities and pool resources to create solutions. These workforce solutions were developed under the High Growth Job Training Initiative and the Community-Based Job Training Grants between 2003 and 2008. These grants were designed to engage business education and the workforce invest- ment system to address the workforce challenges facing high growth high-demand industries and to build the capacity of community colleges to train and educate workers with the skills needed to succeed in the 21st century economy. The workforce solutions described here include curriculum competency models distance learning tools career awareness and outreach materials research ndings case studies career lattices industry skills centers and websites. ETA is announcing these products to en- able their replication or adaptation and to further stimulate innovation and creative response to the nation s workforce challenges.
