In this session there is one major push that has brought all our state’s top elected leaders together – an ambitious workforce, economic and community development package called, “Working for
Anyone who follows the Legislative Session each year in Montgomery, knows that it is never short of controversy.
At an announcement event in Montgomery last month, we saw a rare occurrence: Gov. Kay Ivey joining Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth and Republican and Democratic leaders of the House and Senate to unveil the seven bills that make up the Working for Alabama legislative package. This is a real problem, but our legislative leaders have accepted this challenge. Through the Commission on 21st Century Workforce and years of effort, research and study, this commission came out with a report that outlined some commonsense ways that will help create a workforce in Alabama that is second to none.
You can think of this like a building project. If you have a bunch of independent contractors without a general contractor overseeing them to make sure they are all working efficiently together, that is going to be a pretty sloppy job with mixed results. The same is true for workforce development. Working for Alabama will also make impressive improvements to our state’s current economic development efforts. It will require our state to create an economic development plan that will be regularly updated and receive input from an industry board. A good thing about this piece of the plan is that it will measure success, so our state’s economic development leaders can see if what they are doing is actually working, and if it is not, they will change what they are doing.
