<strong>WORKFORCE</strong> <strong>INVESTMENT</strong> <strong>ACT</strong> 2000 ANNUAL REPORT<br />
North Carolina implements<br />
and supports programs that<br />
upgrade the skills <strong>of</strong><br />
our existing workers,<br />
better prepare our<br />
emerging workers, and<br />
reconnect dislocated workers<br />
and welfare recipients to<br />
the world <strong>of</strong> work.<br />
GOVERNOR MICHAEL F. E ASLEY<br />
Part <strong>of</strong> attaining that objective includes administration <strong>of</strong> a statewide<br />
system <strong>of</strong> workforce programs to prepare North Carolina's citizens<br />
facing economic hardships, job loss, and other serious barriers to<br />
employment.<br />
Presently, North Carolina operates 84 JobLink Career Centers with 18<br />
affiliates. These Centers empower people to make informed choices<br />
about their careers and employers to make informed choices about<br />
their workforce needs.<br />
North Carolina has a substantial record <strong>of</strong> success in workforce<br />
development. We recognize the need for change, the need to move<br />
beyond the status quo and the need to improve and aim higher. We<br />
must now embrace the progressive change and opportunities afforded<br />
by the Workforce Investment Act, using it as a vehicle for progress as<br />
we continue helping our citizens.
