Collectively, these studies employed an array of data collection techniques, including surveys to state and local workforce officials and private sector employers; site visits; interviews with local, state, and Labor officials; and analysis of Labor data and documents. This testimony draws upon the results of these reports, issued between 2000 and 2007, as well as GAO's ongoing work on one-stop infrastructure, and discusses issues raised and recommendations made. Specifically, the testimony addresses (1) progress made by federal, state, and local officials in implementing key provisions of WIA; and (2) challenges that remain in implementing an integrated employment and training system. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1051T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1051T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1051T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1051T.pdf GAO-07-1051T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-1051T Testimony GAO-07-1051T; Workforce Investment Act: Additional Actions Would Further Improve the Workforce System; Education Employee training Employees Employment Employment assistance programs Funds management Performance measures Program evaluation Training utilization Youth employment programs
