Statement from State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond
ATLANTA Local elected officials and local workforce boards have primary authority and responsibility for the administration of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). The role of the Georgia Department of Labor is to provide statewide oversight and technical assistance for the workforce development system funded by the Workforce Investment Act.
An annual review of the Macon/Bibb Workforce Investment Area was conducted during the week of July 26, 2004 by the Georgia Department of Labor. During the review, problems were documented regarding the delivery of services and the status of the local board. The Georgia Department of Labor has determined that a more intensive evaluation of the Macon/Bibb Workforce Investment Area is needed. The purpose of this action is to ensure the continuity of services and adherence to the Workforce Investment Act.
Additional evaluation will address the following issues:
The availability of new and existing customer services The need for additional training and staff development The status of the local Workforce Investment Board Compliance with Workforce Investment Act policies and procedures.
I believe the department's actions will ensure that local elected officials, workforce board members and workforce development staff have the full capacity to deliver quality services to the citizens of Macon and Bibb County. Georgia Department of Labor staff will be on site in Macon beginning Monday, August 16, 2004 to begin these efforts.
