                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives in support of the 
                   goals of National One-Stop Month.

Whereas national workforce professional organizations and the local workforce 
        investment boards will celebrate National One-Stop Month from May 1 to 
        31, 2006;
Whereas workforce investment boards and One-Stop delivery system were created 
        under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and are designed to provide a 
        full range of employment solutions to employers and job seekers in a 
        single location;
Whereas more than 600 workforce investment boards and 2,000 One-Stop Career 
        Centers are enhancing the productivity and competitiveness of the Nation 
        by providing workforce solutions for hundreds of thousands of employers 
        annually across the United States;
Whereas, in the spirit of the Workforce Investment Act, the cornerstones of 
        maximizing customer choice, employment and training solutions, and 
        universal access are the primary missions of the One-Stop delivery 
        system, allowing more than 14,000,000 job seekers annually the 
        opportunity to connect with the tools they need for their next career 
        opportunity;
Whereas each year the One-Stop delivery system and regional workforce investment 
        boards contribute to the competitiveness of the Nation's workforce by 
        providing training assistance through grants to job seekers and employed 
        workers and other programs to more than 400,000 Americans so they may 
        upgrade or acquire new skills; and
Whereas, in the spirit of the Workforce Investment Act, the private sector 
        leadership of the regional workforce investment boards provides the 
        planning, oversight, and accountability of workforce strategies that 
        succeed in communities across the country: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals of National One-Stop Month; and
            (2) supports the efforts of the workforce investment boards 
        and One-Stop delivery system in preparing the Nation's 
        workforce.
