A HOUSE RESOLUTION recognizing that the
Department of Workforce Development will continue to
provide priority for placement (more commonly referred to as
"priority of service") for employment or training services to
qualified National Guard members and qualified members of
the United States Armed Services and Reservists and their
spouses.
Whereas, The Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002 (JVA), 38
U.S.C. 4215 requires priority of service to qualified United
States Armed Service and Reserve members and spouses;
Whereas, Under IC 22-4.1-4-3, employment and training program priority is given to National Guard members and spouses;
Whereas, The JVA and the priority of service it requires are important acknowledgments of the sacrifices of the men and women who have served in the United States armed forces;
Whereas, The Department of Workforce Development's
strategic vision for priority of service honors eligible veterans
and their spouses as"heroes at home" and envisions that United
States Department of Labor funded employment and training
programs (including the publicly funded workforce investment
system) will identify, inform, and deliver comprehensive
services to covered veterans and their spouses as part of
strategic workforce development activities across the United
States;
Whereas, The Department of Workforce Development will
continue to provide intensive services to veterans who may have
challenges to employment or special training needs through its
Disabled Veterans' Outreach Program;
Whereas, The Department of Workforce Development will
continue to advocate for veterans regarding employment and
training opportunities with business, industry, and community
based organizations through its Local Veterans' Employment
Representative Program; and
Whereas, Indiana is committed to providing quality
employment services to veterans at the local WorkOne Centers:
Therefore,
SECTION 1. That the Indiana House of Representatives recognizes that the Department of Workforce Development will continue to honor our "heroes at home" and to provide employment and training opportunities along with priority of service to qualified National Guard members and qualified members of the United States Armed Services and Reservists and their spouses according to current state and federal law.
SECTION 2. That the Principal Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a copy of this resolution to the commissioner of the Department of Workforce Development.
