                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing support for designation of May 2008 as ``National Workforce 
                   Development Professionals Month''.

Whereas the economic development of every region in our country and the ability 
        of our businesses and industries to compete in the global economy is 
        more than ever before dependent on the availability and quality of a 
        skilled workforce;
Whereas the rapid changes in the skills required of the workforce, as evidenced 
        by the complexity and fast-paced change in our economy and labor 
        markets, puts new demands on individuals and employers at all levels;
Whereas the Nation's residents need the assistance of knowledgeable and 
        dedicated professionals to facilitate the process by which our workforce 
        identifies, prepares for, obtains, maintains, and advances employment 
        and self-sufficiency; and
Whereas the Nation's employers depend on similar levels of professional services 
        to help them recruit and retain a competitive workforce and to 
        continually upgrade the skill sets of their incumbent employees: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the United States House of Representatives expresses 
support for designation of a ``National Workforce Development 
Professionals Month'' to honor all those individuals in all the 
workforce development organizations and partnerships who play such a 
vital role in the Nation's economy.
