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

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.
