SB 887 Workforce Retraining Program and Fund.

Introduced by: Yvonne B. Miller | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Department of Business Assistance; Workforce Retraining Program and Fund. Provides for the Department of Business Assistance to develop a Workforce Retraining Program to provide consulting services and funding to companies to assist in retraining their existing workforce. To be eligible for funding under the program, a company must demonstrate that it is undergoing (i) integration of new technology into its production process, (ii) a change of product line in keeping with marketplace demands, or (iii) substantial change to its service delivery process, which would require assimilation of new skills and technological capabilities by the firm's existing labor force. The bill also creates the Workforce Retraining Fund; however, the bill will not become effective unless an appropriation effectuating the purposes of this act is included in the 2001 Appropriations Act, passed during the 2001 Session of the General Assembly and signed into law by the Governor.
