Abstract

As major providers of employment and training services, community colleges have an important stake in the new workforce investment system that will emerge under this legislation. This policy analysis highlights those employment and training provisions of the Workforce Investment Act that will be of particular interest to community colleges and will discuss the implications of these provisions for the colleges' future anticipation in the delivery of employment and training services. The analysis concludes with a suggested community college action agenda to respond to the challenges and opportunities posed by the new legislation.
