Thanks Jeff! Ron had reached out to us 2 weeks ago for fact sheets on adult education to refer to during the hearing which we were glad to share with him (just an FYI).

Hi everyone — confering with Judy this AM, it appears we have hearings or events confused. The hearing this morning I posted about earlier this week, "Helping Americans Get Back to Work: Implementation of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act” with the Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Development, has a different list of witnesses than we had earlier reported.

See: https://edworkforce.house.gov/calendar/eventsingle.aspx?EventID=401733

Here is the list:

Ms. Michelle Paczynski
Deputy Assistant Executive Director for Workforce and Economic Development
South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce
Columbia, SC

Mr. Heath Berlin
Information Assurance Manager
Naval Health Clinic
Annapolis, MD

Mr. Ron Painter
President
National Association of Workforce Boards
Washington, DC

Mr. Louis Dubin
Board Chair
Workforce Development Board for the State of Maryland
Baltimore, MD

I may stop by to make faces at Ron.

But in any event, the event will be streamed here:

Yes, and David Socolow, my boss, will be doing opening remarks and has promised to mention title II (Kisha will as well). Definitely something to watch!

Thanks Judy. I would say then that this is one for us to pay attention to for sure.

Surely Kermit will get into Title II a bit — I reckon David Bradley will too, in his overview.

Here’s my intel – It seems to be tied to “workforce development week” and these presenters have been tapped:

· David Bradley (CRS)-What is WIOA? Structure of the workforce system

· Kermit Kaleba (NSC)-How WIOA is being implemented, sector partnerships and admin’s budget cuts

· Angela Hanks (CAP)-WIOA and Apprenticeships

· Kisha Bird (CLASP)-WIOA - Impact on Youth and admin’s budget cuts

· Allison Wohl (ASPE)-Impact on Indv w/Disabilities

Subject: [NCL Members] WIOA Hearing This Week

For those strange people on this list who for some reason who don’t follow me on twitter, I should pass on to you something I posted this morning:

The House Education and the Workforce Committee is holding hearing this Thursday on WIOA (!), entitled "Helping Americans Get Back to Work: Implementation of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.”

See: http://ow.ly/rHRE30cw1JR

And, to demonstrate once again what an insider I am: I had no idea this was coming, or what it’s about, or who the witnesses are going to be. Anyone know? A couple of weeks ago I asked Amy Jones (Ed& Workforce staff) about whether they might be thinking about a WIOA hearing — you know, just to see how things are going — and she said that was a possibility but I didn’t get the feeling it was imminent. Maybe I shouldn’t have asked...

The title of the hearing suggests it may not touch much on Title II, (that was not unprecedented back in the WIA days), but I truly have no idea. Again, perhaps someone else on the list may know.

Have there been any Ed & Workforce hearings on WIOA since it was enacted?

Jeff
