Developing USDOL/ETA's Five-Year Research Plan for 2000-2004

Notice is given on the development of the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration's (USDOL/ETA) Five-Year Research Plan for 2000-2004, which plan is required under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998, Section 171. The Research Plan will identify the potential research and evaluation efforts that will most assist USDOL/ETA in carrying out workforce development programs under the WIA. Comments on draft Research Plans are requested as part of the iterative process for developing the final Research Plan, which must be transmitted to Congress by July 1, 2000. Notice of the Workforce Development Research Symposium is also given, which is part of USDOL/ ETA's broad efforts to obtain public input on the draft Research Plan, including suggestions on areas where future research is needed in employment and training. To obtain additional information on the Research Plan and Research Symposium, and to provide comments, visit the website at the following address: http://www.heldrich.rutgers.edu/ USDOL-ETA-ResearchPlan.
