The Performance Standards and Workforce Accountability Task Force
The Performance Standards and Workforce Accountability Task Force was created through the 2006 Economic Stimulus Bill, and was charged with developing and recommending policies that “advance the skills and workforce development opportunities for incumbent, unemployed and underemployed youth and adult workers whose lack of skills prevent or limit their successful employment.”
The task force membership was specified in the legislation to include members of the legislature, key workforce development agencies, major business, community, labor and advocacy groups with an interest in workforce development in Massachusetts.
This following report, submitted on behalf of the task force, serves as the report specified under sub-section (d) of the legislation. The report summarizes the activity of the task force during 2007 and proposes a series of activities and steps during the next two years to further advance the work related to performance standards and accountability for the Commonwealth’s workforce development system.
