EXECUTIVE ORDER EO 82-22
ASSIGNING TO THE DEPARTMENT
OF EMPLOYMENT SECURITY THE GENERAL
RESPONSIBILITY FOR
IMPLEMENTATION AND AMINISTRATION
OF THE JOB TRAINING
PARTNERSHIP ACT OF 1982
The
Congress passed the Job Training Partnership Act of 1982 for the purpose of
establishing programs to prepare youth and unskilled adults for entry into the
labor force and to afford job training to those economically disadvantaged
individuals and other individuals facing serious barriers to employment, who
are in special need of such training in order to obtain productive employment.
That Act charges the state governments with substantial responsibilities for
implementing its provisions.
NOW,
THEREFORE,
I, John Spellman, Governor of the state of Washington, by virtue of the power
vested in me, and in accordance with the charge to state governors contained in

Partnership Act of 1982.
2. The Employment Security Department
shall be the state agency responsible for the oversight and management of a
statewide comprehensive labor market and occupational supply and demand
information system.

State Job Training Coordinating Council (the "Council") for the
purpose of complying with Section 122 of the Act.

shall have the responsibility to provide professional, technical,

the activities of the Council.

shall continue to administer employment and training programs under the
Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA), as amended, relative to the
state, the Washington State Employment and Training Council, and the Balance of

the provisions of Executive Order 79-04, dated September 14, 1979, shall terminate September 30, 1983.
IN WITNESS
